"Movies for Everyone". Since 2012, the "Movies for Everyone" project has been making cinema in Colombia accessible to people with visual or hearing disabilities through audio description, Colombian sign language and subtitles for deaf people. This initiative of the ICT Ministry has the support of Fundacion Saldarriaga Concha and Cine Colombia and relies on ATmedios' experience in providing accessibility systems and technical support in each movie screening. Films are projected on the last Saturday of each month at Cine Colombia theaters in various cities around the country. A new cycle with accessibility systems for people with visual and auditory disabilities starts on Saturday, February 27.
Permanent screenings in Pereira, Manizales and Armenia.
In previous years, "Movies for Everyone" was present in the coffee-growing area with itinerant screenings between these three cities. In order to reach more people who can benefit from this project and because of the high number of attendees in the previous cycle, each city will now have its own screening each month.
New cities
Cartagena y Villavicencio harán parte de Cine Para Todos, completando 12 ciudades en las que se podrá disfrutar de las funciones. En Cartagena estaremos en Centro Comercial Paseo de la Castellana y en Villavicencio en el Centro Comercial Viva Villavicencio.

Whatscine en todas las ciudades
With the WhatsCine app, it is possible to listen to a movie's audio description or see the sign language interpretation through a cell phone or tablet. Now, theatergoers in all cities can download the app on their cell phones to use it during a movie screening. We will lend digital tablets for deaf people to visualize sign language. They just need to present a valid ID card.
To install the Whatscine app on your Android or iOS device, follow our Instructional videos.
A member of the ATmedios team will guide you in the theater if you have doubts about the use of WhatsCine.
