cinemas such as Village, etc.

As a person who  loves the arts and going to the movies, having a vision 
impairment certainly makes choices narrower. The pilot at NOVA Carlton 
Victoria was very welcome and gave us a sense of what could be. The 
technology does exist and similar to program management of 3D and ordinary 
mode of films (e.g. recent showing of UP) the program management of audio 
described and/or sub-titled films should be good business practice.

I strongly object to the exemption from DDA by cinema chains .
