Relaxed Cinema Resources
Resources to help you run your own relaxed screenings
Beacon Films Relaxed Cinema Marketing and Communications Guide:
Relaxed Screenings are cinema or film screenings which include adjustments to help create a more accessible and inclusive experience for neurodivergent and disabled audiences who have specific access requirements.
The neurodivergent and disabled community is diverse and people can have a range of access requirements. There are also varying levels of public and audience awareness and acceptance of these access requirements at public events. This guide primarily focuses on autistic and/or learning disabled audiences which are screenings based on an “Autism-Friendly” concept.
This guide focuses on how to plan marketing and communications strategies to promote your events.
It is intended to support venues who are at all stages of their relaxed cinema journey.
