Accessible measures in the programme
All films in the main Prague programme have Czech and English subtitles. The only screenings without subtitles are the Relaxed screenings. We also offer films with audio-description. In Prague, we interpret selected debates into Czech Sign Language (CSL) and provide simultaneous transcription into Czech.
All films in the regions and within Prague Echoes are in the original version with Czech subtitles. Selected films have Czech descriptive or English subtitles. Children's films are dubbed in Czech. Information about films with audio description and possible interpretation of debates into Czech sign language can be found in the details of individual town or Echoes screenings (see pictograms).
