Autism-Friendly Screenings

Access Take 2: September – December 2012

Dear friends of GFT,

We’ve just announced our next programme of Access Take 2 films, our monthly autism-friendly screenings.

Forthcoming films include:

• The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! on Saturday 1 September at 12.30pm

• The Muppet Movie on Saturday 6 October at 12.30pm

• Top Cat: The Movie on Saturday 3 November at 12.30pm

• Help, I’m a Fish! on Saturday 1 December at 12.30pm.

Each film and the cinema environment are suitable for children with autism spectrum disorders and/or sensory hypersensitivity.  Our selection of films have no subtitles, are played with the volume reduced and the house lights on low, while children are free to make noise and move around. Children, family members and adults with other disabilities are welcome to attend the screenings too.

All of our autism-friendly screenings take place in GFT’s Cinema 2 on the first Saturday of each month at 12.30pm.

Glasgow Young Scot or Kidz Card holders and an accompanying adult get in FREE to these shows.

We also have an exclusive autism-friendly screening of The Lorax for ASL schools this November as part of National Schools Film Week 2012. Click here for more details on how to reserve free places.
