Making ImageOut Accessible
ImageOut believes everyone should have the opportunity to be part of the larger LGBT community regardless of age, financial need or disability. Our goal is to reach more people every year.
Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
ASL interpreting for Festival films can be requested up until Friday, October 4th to guarantee that an interpreter can be present and prepared. An updated list of films that will be interpreted will be on the Festival website. Captioning via subtitles is present for foreign language movies, however filmmakers frequently do not caption brief English dialog. ImageOut apologizes that Open Captioning of English-language movies is not feasible at this time. The Dryden Theater and Little Theatre 2 have Hearing Loop Systems.
Wheelchair Accessibility
ImageOut venues (Little Theatre and Dryden Theatre) are wheelchair accessible. The Little Theatre provides a limited number of wheelchair accessible seats; additional accessible seating is available upon request during the advance ticket sales period prior to 5:00pm Friday, October 4th to ensure adequate seating arrangements.
Free or Discounted Tickets
ImageOutreach reserves tickets for people of limited financial means. Patrons who can demonstrate low income (e.g. EBT card) can contact the ImageOut office for Outreach tickets. Human service organizations may also arrange Outreach tickets for their eligible clients.
Next Generation Film Series
Devoted to films by, for, and about LGBT youth. Youth are invited and encouraged to participate in film selection, so that the films we show are relevant to the issues, concerns, and experiences of today’s LGBT youth. Tickets are free to all Next Generation Series films for anyone 25 and under.
