The All4Access app offers audio description and ASL translation for our films. Superfest partnered with the DiCapta Foundation this year, providing audio description for most films and ASL video translation for all Sunday screening films. Previously, we used open audio description for all films, but we realized it inadvertently created a barrier for those with sensory-processing disabilities. We’re hopeful that the All4Access app’s live-synching methods maintain access without compromising the viewing experience. Your feedback is welcome, as access is an ongoing effort with room for improvement.
