[Nurit Neustadt-noy]

Lisa hi
If you have a chance please get on "Please do Touch" (na lagaat - in
Hebew) site and see their work. AMAZING. Deaf-blind actors. The place is
fully accessible and. However they do not provide audio description,
which I will try to interest them in.   www.nalagaat.org.il

Recently, one of the staff there (seeing and hearing) left and is very
interested in developing audio description service in Israel. I sent him
the information and hopefully he will attend the event.
 
Are you at  Husbey????? If so, have we met there?????
Cheeeers,
Nurit

Hi Nurit,
 
I agree with you that it is very exciting that audio description is
envolving into a profession.
Also interesting to see how it already starts to form different branches
and ideas.
It will be a wonderful day when audio description will be the norm.
 
No, not in the States.  Working in Norway.
 
Best,
Lisa

Hi,
Forwarding this information about the first annual Audio Description
Project conference
"The American Council of the Blind has established the Audio Description
Project to promote description throughout the nation in all its formats
and to produce description for broadcast media.  We will hold our first
annual Audio Description Project Conference in conjunction with ACB's
2009 Convention this summer in Orlando, FL-July 6-8.  Immediately
following our Conference, from July 9-11, we will convene our first
Audio Description Training Institute, a three-day intensive series of
interactive, multi-media sessions focused on the fundamentals of audio
description.
 
 
I've attached documents (and appended them below) on both events and
several other related initiatives:
 
 
- "The Miracle Worker" on DVD with captions and description provided by
ACB's Audio Description Project-sales through the links indicated
benefit ACB!
 
 
- the Young Described Film Critic contest, sponsored by ACB's ADP and
the Described and Captioned Media Program-encourage kids you know to
review described video or film!
 
 
- a call for nominations for the first ACB/ADP Awards, including the
Barry Levine Memorial Award for Career Achievement in Description as
well as description Achievement Awards in Media, Performing Arts, Visual
Art, and Research.
 
 
I do hope you can join us!  Keep in mind that formal registration should
begin by the end of next week at the ACB website:
