The 4th Ankara Unhandicapped Films Festival enabling everyone including those with sigh-disabled, hearing-impaired, orthopedically handicapped to watch movie is starting with the ceremony to be held at Opera Sahnesi (Opera Hall) at 8 p.m. on May 24.

This festival which will end on May 29 is very precious. Why? Because there is audio description for the ones with sight-disability; detailed subtitles for the ones with hearing-impairment; sign language accompanying bull sessions and workshops. Because it is held in places accessible to people with orthopedically handicapped, and lets people with or without handicap “see it together”.

Movie lovers in Ankara will be able to watch 27 films consisting of feature-length, short movies and documentaries under eight categories. (NV/TK)
