Access

As part of our 21st edition, our main focus at DIFF like the past years is to celebrate and promote equality, diversity and inclusion through our programmes, events and talent. To do this, DIFF welcomes our audiences from different parts of Ireland and around the world to participate in the screenings and events in-person and online at our venues and on the website.   
 

• All our venues have accessible seating.  
• Non-English (Foreign) language films are subtitled.  
• A selection of English-language features, documentaries and shorts will be made available exclusively online with Closed Caption for geographical accessibility. 
• Our volunteers would be trained for hidden disabilities and the trained volunteers would wear lanyards with sunflowers to be approached. 

• On-screen text, SDH subtitles and captions for D/ deaf or hard of hearing. These films will be tagged as 'CC' on https://www.diff.ie/festival-schedule-2023# 

Light House Cinema, and IFI have wheelchair access.

There is a Loop system in each of our venues.

We also work with a number of other partner venues and are happy to answer any queries regarding accessibility.

If you are a wheelchair user or have any other access requirements and wish to make a booking please contact the box office on +353 1 687 7974 or send us an email at [email protected] so that we can make sure that there are facilities to accommodate your needs. 

We offer free companion seats for those who have limited mobility or may otherwise need assistance from a carer - please mention this when booking your ticket(s) to ensure we can meet your access requirements. Please note that free carer tickets are only available for Mon - Thu screenings between 9am - 5pm.
