Balloons are an easy, practical way to access the soundtrack of the film through vibration. Historically, Deaf folks gathered in Deaf clubs to watch movies. They held balloons to feel the sound vibrations.
Balloons are not an alternative to accessible captions. We are using them to draw attention to the creativity and ingenuity of Disabled audiences.
We invite you to blow up a balloon and hold it while you watch a film. Any balloon will work. Feel the detail of the sound design, music and soundtracks move across the surface.
