continuous captioning in movie theaters
AMC Theaters recently decided to support people
with hearing loss by providing full time captioning on one screen in
many of their theater complexes.
This is one of those things that we'll look back
on in a few years and remark," I can't believe that we ever put up
with not having at least one captioned movie always available to
us." We recently contacted Tripod Captioned Films and asked them if
there were any screens currently dedicated to captioned movies. Here's
what they replied:
"YES!!
We now have 6 dedicated screens. This means they will have one room that
shows a Tripod Captioned Film each show time of every day of the week
for seven days. Then we change the film. We have dedicated screens in
the following cities:
"Kansas
City
AMC Olathe Station
Rochester,
NY Regal
Henrietta
Phoenix,
AZ
AMC Arizona Center
San
Diego, CA AMC
Fashion Valley
Milpitas,
CA AMC
Milpitas
Pittsburgh,
PA Loews
Versailles (partially dedicated)
"We
are also working on New York, Las Vegas and Metro DC area. We hope to
have a page on our website soon regarding this.
"Thank
you for your support of TRIPOD Captioned Films."
Thank YOU, Tripod Captioned Films, for providing this
access.
