Festival

Watch films with Earcatch & Subcatch

As a leading cultural platform we strive to be accessible to all and we are working to ensure that everybody who wants to join us to celebrate film can visit the festival and watch IFFR films.

A selection of films from our programme are accessible for visitors with a visual or hearing impairment with the free Subcatch (SDH) and Earcatch (audio description) apps. Subcatch is an app with special subtitles for Dutch-language cinema films and documentaries, so that deaf and hard-of-hearing people can also follow them. Earcatch is an app that ensures that people with a visual impairment can also enjoy films, series and performances, in the cinema, in the theater or at home on the couch. A voice describes what is happening on screen between the dialogues.

During IFFR 2024, Holly by Fien Troch, Krazy House by Flip van der Kuil & Steffen Haars, NL-Alert by Loïs Dols de Jong, and Milk by Stefanie Kolk has audio description in Earcatch.
