It\u2019s often the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication to their craft. Media accessibility \u2013\u00a0 a critical step to ensure each film is accessible to all members of an audience \u2013\u00a0is often one of the final steps in the process of preparing a film screening. This blog will discuss all of the things you need for your next festival screening, including closed captions, localization, or post-production scripts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Closed Captioning for Film Festivals<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/what-is-closed-captioning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closed captioning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great start and often a given in film festivals to ensure a D\/deaf and hard of hearing audience can experience your film. If you haven\u2019t already been provided with style and technical requirements for captions, reach out to your film festival point of contact and ask for these specs. They will typically include information on how captions should be formatted and what deliverables are accepted by the festival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#DEEFF5;color:#000000\">&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/wp-ccguide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Learn More About Captions in This FREE Guide:<\/u><\/a> \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp;<\/span><\/center><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translation and Subtitles for Film Festivals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-27324 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera-174x174.jpg 174w, https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/film-camera.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/>Now let\u2019s think about the language of your content. Are there foreign languages spoken in your film? Foreign words on-screen that should be translated? Or is the film festival considered to be international? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may need <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/services\/translation-subtitling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">translation or subtitling services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as forced narrative subtitles, which translate specific parts of foreign dialogue or on-screen text to aid in viewer comprehension. Multilingual subtitles are another option that not only provide greater inclusivity and understanding, but also open the door to presenting your art on a global scale regardless of festival requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are your film festival specs also asking for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/services\/transcription\/broadcast-scripts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">post-production scripts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Can you just submit your film\u2019s screenplay? Unfortunately not, as post-production scripts are designed to include exactly what is in the final cut of your film. Again, this where you\u2019ll want to check in with the film festival specs. What kind of post-production script does the festival require? Is there a sample they can provide? Dialogue lists are a great example of post-production scripts that are requested on the international film festival circuit. These scripts provide verbatim dialogue transcription attributed by speakers, plus credits and musical cues, and are optimal for language translations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Film Festival Accessibility<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to remember that specs or schedules for film festivals may change at the last minute, especially in a world of live, virtual, and hybrid events.
