    Paramount Pictures Teaming With British Deaf Association for New Priority Screenings

    Deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing cinema-goers to receive VIP first, captioned, view of Paramount releases.

    Paramount Pictures has announced an exciting new partnership with the British Deaf Association and UK cinemas. In collaboration with the FDA (Film Distributors’ Association) and UKCA (UK Cinema Association) and in association with the BDA (British Deaf Association), Paramount Pictures are seeking to further improve the relationship between cinema and the c. 18 million people in the UK registered as Deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing.*

    View a signed video translation of the studio announcement in the player below:

    The aim of the partnership is to increase the number of captioned screenings, ensuring they are scheduled at different times throughout the week, while also raising deaf awareness among front-of-house cinema staff, including offering introductory British Sign Language (BSL) training. Training sessions are already taking place across the country with cinema staff, delivered by BDA’s experienced trainers, and Yvonne Cobb, Celebrity Ambassador for BDA. Yvonne is a TV cook and presenter who is best known from BBC One’s Morning Live.

    In addition, beginning with Transformers One, starring Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm, participating cinemas will be given an exclusive preview screening on October 10, 2024 with captions, a day ahead of the film’s national release.

    Paramount Pictures will also offer similar ‘caption only’ previews for subsequent releases; Gladiator II, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and into next year with The Smurfs Movie.

    Andy Leyshon, Chief Executive, FDA commented: ‘We should all be striving to improve accessibility and enhance the audience experience in cinemas, and this initiative from Paramount is a great further step forward that will hopefully lead to a much better offer in this area as we progress. We also know that there is a general increase in audiences choosing to watch captioned content either on mobile devices or at home watching TV/PVOD or SVOD content – 61 percent of 18–24-year-olds and 13 percent of 50–64-year-olds**, equating to over a quarter of the population – suggesting that captioned shows are now more likely to be accepted by general audiences, not just the deaf community.’
