Original title: Helping the visually impaired to listen to "view" movies in Shanghai to restart the barrier-free viewing project


About 30 visually impaired people enjoyed "My Hometown and Me" by wearing special headsets


z1 Shanghai News Shanghai’s "Favorite Cinema-Barrier-Free Cinema Project", which had to be suspended to help prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic, has recently restarted in Shanghai. This is the first time that more than 8 months later, Shanghai once again provided the visually impaired with cinema "watching" services with narration function.


On the occasion of the National Day holiday, about 30 visually impaired people watched the feature film "My Hometown and Me" in Shanghai Tianshan Cinema with special headphones, which tells the story of poverty alleviation at the grassroots level in China.


According to the relevant technical person in charge of the barrier-free viewing project, this kind of barrier-free commentary film needs to be created by professional screenwriters, and the narration script is written without affecting the sound information transmission of the film as much as possible, and finally edited on the basis of the original film. Synthesize audio tracks with commentary content and make them into a barrier-free commentary version "digital movie package" for supporting distribution.


Chen Xiaobin, a visually impaired person, told reporters after "watching" the film that the commentary in the headset added a lot of details, played a role in reminding the relationship between the characters, and was very helpful to his understanding of the film's storyline.


He said: "On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, I also'watched' the barrier-free version of the film. After the experience, I had high expectations for the commentary version of the film. After the epidemic prevention and control became normal, the Shanghai theater restarted in late July. , The barrier-free'viewing' service was resumed in early October. It exceeded expectations and I was very excited."


It is understood that the "Love Cinema-barrier-free viewing project" is based on the film technology quality of the Shanghai Film Bureau and the Central Propaganda Department. A public welfare project jointly sponsored and launched by the Shanghai Film Distribution and Exhibition Industry Association and the Shanghai Charity Foundation under the guidance of the Inspection Institute and the Yangtze River Delta Film Distribution and Projection Alliance. At present, 53 theaters in Shanghai can provide barrier-free commentary editions of films, and some theaters in Ningbo, Taizhou, Zhejiang and other places have begun to try to introduce such services. The number of theaters providing such services in the Yangtze River Delta will increase in the future. (Reporter: Yang Kai and Xu Xiaoqing)
