In 2023, we took our first steps into the world of film festivals and showcases with a clear goal: to make entertainment more accessible for everyone — especially people with visual and hearing disabilities. Since then, the journey has been inspiring. Today, we are proud to say we’ve helped make 18 festivals more accessible — and we continue to grow!
For each one, we adapted to their specific needs and supported their accessibility strategies.
Our work goes beyond producing accessibility features for films. We developed MLOAD, an app designed to make it easier for people with visual and hearing impairments to access the content shown. It also provides sign language interpretation (LIBRAS) and subtitles for festival openings, sessions, talks, and roundtable discussions.
Film festivals are more than just showcases for audiovisual works — they are spaces for exchange, learning, discovery, and belonging. That’s why bringing accessibility into this space is an achievement that goes far beyond technical implementation — it’s about ensuring that everyone, with or without disabilities, can experience cinema in a full and meaningful way.
Not long ago, accessibility resources at these events were rare. Seeing how far we’ve come fills us with hope and renews our belief in a future where inclusion is the norm, not the exception.
We have deep appreciation for every partner who believes in this transformation. Working with festivals such as São Paulo International Film Festival, Festival do Rio, It’s All True, Kinofórum, Bonito CineSur, FALA São Chico, Curta Cinema Festival, São Bernardo do Campo Film Festival, Cinema in the Park in Limeira, FICI, Hebraica Jewish Film Festival, Florianópolis Children’s Film Festival, Pachamama Festival, Santos Film Fest, Expocine, Tiradentes Film Showcase, and BRAVI.LAb is something we are very proud of.
Accessibility in publicly funded cultural projects is not just a legal requirement — it’s an ethical and social commitment. Culture must be lived and experienced by everyone, and we’re here to help open those doors.
Let’s keep moving forward — building a cinema that’s more diverse, inclusive, and truly sensitive to all.
