Starting this Wednesday, September 9th we are introducing Open Caption Wednesdays at both the Somerville and Capitol Theatres. This means most new digital releases will screen with open captions on Wednesdays.What’s an Open Caption screening?Open Caption is a version of the film where spoken dialogue and relevant audio cues to describe what’s happening in the movie will show at the bottom of the screen.* Open Caption screenings appeal to many viewers, including those who are D/deaf or hard of hearing, those learning the English language, or cinemagoers who simply prefer to read along with the film. Open captions are not available for most repertory movies or any movie screened on analog film. Some new films may not offer this option, but releases from most major studios will make this available to us. Films included in Open Caption Wednesdays will be clearly indicated on our websites and ticketing platforms. *Headphones and closed caption readers are not required, but are still available if you prefer this method of movie watching. |
