You can still go to the movie and television showing with a disability. There are a lot of installations you can interact with at the MediaLab. At some installations, you need to physically interact, which can be difficult but we’ll do our best to make this possible. You are very welcome to come by and the Cinekid crew is there to support you. 

In addition, children with a visual impairment can also enjoy Cinekid. You can follow everything very clearly via the Earcatch audio description app. And with the new Subcatch app, children who are deaf or hard of hearing don't have to miss a moment of their favorite movie this year. View the offered films here!

You are only allowed to take pictures and record outside of the movie and television screenings. The use of professional film and audio equipment is not allowed.

Many films are in Dutch. If a film is in another language, there are always Dutch subtitles. This is also stated in the program on the website.
