Les Arcs Film Festival: an inclusive event
The Les Arcs Film Festival team is committed to ensuring the festival is accessible and welcoming to all those who wish to participate in our event.
As part of this approach, the festival offers a number of adapted sessions:
Hearing accessibility
All films are shown in their original versions, with French subtitles for foreign-language films. In addition, several screenings are available with SME subtitles (for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing).
The full list of screenings with SME subtitles will be available soon.
Visual accessibility
Thanks to the Twavox system, the festival offers audio-described screenings for blind and visually impaired audiences.
We are fully committed to providing audio description and/or subtitles for the hard of hearing whenever possible. However, as most films at the festival are preview screenings, these options are unfortunately not always available (particularly for foreign films).
Come along with a smartphone and headphones!
The full list of screenings available with audio description will be online soon.
Physical accessibility
Our venues are all accessible to people with reduced mobility. However, some movements in the resort are made difficult by unpredictable snow conditions, which complicate access to certain sites, and by sometimes complex infrastructures (numerous lifts, small staircases, etc.). Note also that the Arc 2000 venue has a derogation for not having specific PRM access, but we're not giving up: let us know if you want to go there and we'll do our best to help you. The most easily accessible venues are those in Bourg Saint Maurice (the Coeur d'Or) and the Bernard Taillefer centre.

CALM Screening “Comme À La Maison”
Thanks to the partnership with the Handi Pep’s association, the CALM (“Comme À La Maison” / Feel Right At Home) screening invites everyone to share a movie experience in a warm, supportive atmosphere where everyone, with or without a disability, is welcomed and respected just as they are. Just like at home, everyone can experience the film in their own way: you can enter or leave during the screening, speak, or move around the theater, and the lights will remain dimmed.
