[New-York-News] Fwd: Human Rights Watch Film Festival - Outreach Support for Accessibility Features in Films

Sat May 21 19:01:54 UTC 2022

The Human Rights Watch Film Festival - Screening in person in NYC and  Streaming Online through May 26, across the US

The human rights movement needs ALL of us.

The Human Rights Watch Film Festival<https://ff.hrw.org/newyork> is back in NYC, screening a slate of 10 powerful films that uplift stories of human rights advocates worldwide, from parents organizing for education and affordable childcare in Oakland California, to environmental land defenders risking their lives in the Philippines to stand for climate justice- to a group of people who organized an underground network in the 1970s to ensure people had access to safe abortions when it was illegal.  At this year's festival 9 of the 10 films (that includes 16 in person screenings at Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center and 9 films available to stream online) are fully accessible!

All in-person screenings at the HRW Film Festival (except the film called: The New Greatness Case) are available with Audio Description, closed captions and  the live in-person discussions with filmmakers and activists will be live-captioned for members of the public who are D/deaf or hard of hearing. Cinemas are excited to welcome members of the public to take part in these events.

The festival is also financially accessible - we don't want the cost of a ticket to be a barrier for participation. Free tickets are available to all films online by emailing filmticket at hrw.org for an auto-reply message that will contain free ticket codes to redeem online.

For a link to our digital offerings that are Audio Described - please visit this link: https://www.hrwfilmfestivalstream.org/collection/new-york-2022-audio-described-collection/

For more information on in-person tickets and the calendar of screenings, please visit the Human Rights Watch Film Festival website here - https://www.hrwfilmfestivalstream.org/

For further discounts or questions, please don't hesitate to email the team at filmfestival at hrw.org for information.

Please spread the word! You can click here<https://thesocialpresskit.com/hrwff> to access a social media presskit with pre-written social posts and film trailers to invite your friends.

Many thanks for your help!

I would suggest that you post to the following Facebook groups:

Diversability
New York Tri-State Blind and Vision Impaired

If you tag me with a tweet @Chancey Fleet<mailto:chanceyfleet at nypl.org>  or link me to a tweet, I'll retweet for you.

Is the event free? If so, if  you send me a complete announcement in the body of an email, with a link to the festival, exactly as you'd like it to appear, I'll post it to the library list and the NFBNews list.

Chancey,

I hope you’re doing well!  I’m reaching out to connect you with Jen Nedbalsky, cc’ed, from Human Rights Watch Film Festival, happening now at Lincoln Center.  Jen and her team have worked hard to make this festival inclusive and accessible, with audio described and captioned films, and CART for talkbacks.

The Festival runs now through next week. If you have any advice for getting the word out to the disability community, we would so appreciate the support.

Here’s a link to the festival: https://bit.ly/3jt64jU<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3jt64jU&data=05%7C01%7Cnedbalj%40hrw.org%7C2e685289cf3d4d27070708da3b342aac%7C2eb79de4d8044273a6e64b3188855f66%7C0%7C0%7C637887393607709595%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=d1bSyGkSjx%2B54d%2BJLCCxB9V7CcfT5NyXzoQx8KyQxAs%3D&reserved=0>
