Cinema for the blind
2006-11-27, 22:37
Cinema for blind people has been launched for the first time in Poland.

The first show, which features a special method of describing events on the screen, movements, facial expressions etc, to accompany dialogue, took place in the city of Bialystok.

The man behind the project in Białystok, Tomasz Strzymiński, said that he had been a regular cinema goer before he lost his sight 6 years ago. He said that although the method used couldn't replace sight, he was happy to be able to continue his hobby.

The first picture to be shown for the blind in Poland is a new Polish comedy.
