Note for non-UK readers: The Film Council, a report from which is referred to on the campaigners' website, is a recently-established government body set up to replace several others as a unified 'one stop shop' for directing public subsidy to the film and television industries. Its website can be found here.

I think all cinemas should have something like Phonic-Ear systems for the hard-of-hearing. That's a great system, IMHO.

I wouldn't want subtitles on the film itself.

Of course, the thing with the dts systems (descriptions/subtitles) is that the studios would have to agree to create the software, right?

I just don't see filmmakers holding up the release of a movie because "the handicap discs aren't ready yet."

And I like the idea of using government funding (lottery, etc) to subsidize it...although, I think that the cinemas and the distributors ought to contribute something, too.
