From: Dowling, Jacqueline A [ Subject: captioning Dear Sir/Madam My 13 year old son is hearing impaired and declined to involve himself in a recent social outing with his peers – going to see ‘New Moon” at the movies. He said, despite reading the book, it would just be too hard for him to follow the conversation/dialogue. The audio loop is not enough for him despite 2 cochlear implants and above average language levels. He needs captions and it breaks my heart that he can’t fully participate in important social get togethers with his hearing peers. We need many more captioned movies at many more cinemas. The current cinemas and limited session availability are incredibly restrictive. Please. All who love foreign films know open captions do not detract from the pleasure of the film. It harms nobody and benefits many. Yours sincerely Jackie Dowling Jackie Dowling
