The All4Access app may be used by those seeking audio descriptions and ASL translation to accompany our films. This year, Superfest partnered with the DiCapta Foundation, which provided audio descriptions for the majority of our films and ASL video translation for all films at the Sunday screening. While Superfest used to play all films with open audio descriptions, we learned that our effort to bring access to low-vision and blind users created an access barrier for others with sensory-processing disabilities. We are optimistic that the All4Access app will allow access without compromising the quality of the viewing experience thanks to the app’s live-synching methods. We invite your feedback afterward, as access is always a work in progress with room for growth.
