Sensory Screening - Forgotten Island
📅 Sunday 18 October · 10:15
About this event
We are screening Forgotten Island with adjustments made to make the experience more relaxed. The film will be preceded by a countdown timer, which will be counting down at the advertised start time. There will be no adverts or trailers and throughout the film there will be lower sound and our lights will be left on a low setting. The movie will have Descriptive Subtitles throughout. It is crucial that neurodivergent guests, their families and carers, can access our cinema with settings to help overcome barriers to entry. All are welcome to attend, but empathy and patience is a must. We do ask that - if possible - you support the cinema in purchasing snacks and/or drinks, but understand that some guests may have very specific preferences that we are happy to allow (or if you want specific products in your own cup/tub, we will accommodate this also). About the Film: A dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island. High school graduates Jo and Raiss have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths. While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever. Dir.
