On-Screen Captions
Below is a listing of all upcoming movies presented with on-screen captions, be it a special captioned screening of an English language film, or a foreign language film with English subtitles.
For each new movie we play, we’re committed to hosting a screening with on-screen English captions, when available*.
Captions (i.e. “subtitles for English language films”) assist anyone who is deaf, hard of hearing, has English as a second language, or simply would like to see the dialogue of a film on the screen.
* Surprisingly & unfortunately, the majority of the movies we play (released by medium & small distribution companies) are distributed to cinemas in Canada without on-screen captions available. So we are only capable of doing captioned screenings for films released by major studios.
