Accessibility
The Aesthetica Short Film Festival is committed to providing a safe and all-inclusive environment for all attendees, across both the in-person and virtual formats.
In 2021, ASFF will take place with a mixture of in-person and virtual events, allowing On Demand access to audiences from their own homes. The virtual platform can be accessed on computers, smart TVs, smart phones and all tablet devices.
Venue Access
Though some venues are located in York’s historic buildings, the majority are fully wheelchair accessible – please check the programme for more details. Please note, wheelchair spaces are subject to availability. All films will also be able to view through the online platform.
Speech to Text
In order to make our industry events – including panel discussions, masterclasses and industry spotlights – inclusive and available to all audiences, we will be implementing speech to text captioning across all virtual activity at Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2021.
Hearing Loops & Subtitles
All foreign language films will include English subtitles. In addition, films in the English language will have the option to be viewed with subtitles / closed captions where possible. Look out for the subtitle symbol in the programme. Hearing loops and headphones available at City Screen.
