A inserção dos instrumentos da acessibilidade comunicacional no cinema de Recife para pessoas com deficiência visual

Abstract

The present study constitutes an attempt to understand the cinema as a formative and educational tool. In this sense, we seek to understand the access of people with visual impairments if they attend movie theaters at all times and not just at festivals with accessible shows. Thinking about it, the most expressive way of visual accessibility is to describe what goes on in films, what cannot be seen; as an example of static images at the bottom of the screen; this is the most real way for these people to interact with the total narrative of the films. Within this perspective, the central objective is to identify which resources and instruments are available in cinemas and exhibitions in Recife that promote accessibility for the visually impaired public and whether this promoted accessibility is in line with the public policies of inclusion and accessibility that support this directly to people with disabilities. From this, research the objectives that propose to know when the public policies that promote accessibility in cinemas in Recife were implemented; Investigate whether there is any equipment in cinemas in Recife that promotes accessibility for people with visual impairments, making it easier to fully understand the films during their exhibition; Identify the difficulties of people with visual impairments regarding the use of accessibility equipment in movie theaters in Recife.
