Bertha DocHouse: Autism-friendly, relaxed documentary film screenings
London
Main information
Website: https://dochouse.org/
Bertha DocHouse is the UK's first cinema dedicated to screening documentaries, based in the heart of London. We will be running relaxed screenings on the first Wednesday of every month at 2pm. These are specifically designed for those who would appreciate a less formal cinema environment.
Relaxed screenings are open to everyone but may benefit individuals with autism spectrum conditions, learning difficulties or sensory and communication difficulties. What to expect from relaxed screenings:
• No trailers or adverts, so the film will start promptly at the advertised time.
• Lights will be kept on low throughout the film.
• Sound volume is set quieter than usual screenings.
• Capacity is capped at 50% to allow plenty of space between groups.
• Seating is unallocated so you’re free to sit where you like.
• You’re welcome to move around or walk out of the screen and there is a quiet seating area outside the screen to take a break if needed.
• There will be a member of staff on hand to help get you settled and perform regular screen checks throughout the film.
• Toys, electronic devices, food, and drink are all welcome inside the cinema.
