Diversity and inclusion underpins every project undertaken by the ground-breaking work of the Rhwydwaith Cynulleidfa Ffilm (RhCFf). The Network aims to reach new audiences and increase access to screen culture for all, regardless of any barriers they may face.
Placing access at the heart of Inclusive Cinema, we launched a collective strategy designed to support audiences with additional needs. Aims were to:
- Support successful accessible screenings models FAN wide, encouraging sustainable long-term delivery,
- Share learning via a UK wide online resource (the Inclusive Cinema website), offering multiple toolkits and reducing duplication,
- Provide training with expert partners, access champions and stakeholders,
- Continually analyse and develop models, learning as we delivered,
- Highlight and leverage further funding for accessible screenings,
- Raise awareness and further education for audiences, stakeholders and wider partners,
- Advocate for and support the implantation of raised standards, such as the delivery of accessible formats, and environments that are welcoming and inclusive,
- Develop further research and gather audience feedback where there are noticeable gaps across the sector.
