Caribbean Cinemas piloting screenings for persons with disabilities

Caribbean Cinemas Guyana will today host its pilot of a programme which caters to viewers with special needs, particularly those with autism and Down syndrome disorder.

Under the “Movies for All” programme, children and adults with autism and Down syndrome disorders that characteristically result in a sensitivity to light and sound, as well as those with other special needs, will be able to view a selected movie in an accommodating and comfortable environment.

Caribbean Cinemas Guyana, in a Facebook post, explained that today’s screening will take place in one of its auditoriums, where it will keep their wall lights slightly bright and the sound will be regulated to a standard volume.
