Inclusive Cinema
Inclusive Cinema is a UK-wide project developed by the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) designed to support screen exhibitors. Together, we celebrate diversity on screen, in the audience and behind the camera.
Inclusive Cinema is at the heart of BFI FAN’s strategy, designed to support screen exhibitors. Working together with FAN members, regional film hubs, audiences and freelances, we celebrate diversity on screen, in the audience and behind the camera..
Together with our creative network of partners, we’re building a skilled and confident exhibition sector, which celebrates our heritage and where young audiences aged 16-30 play a part in developing inclusive film culture for the future.
The Inclusive Cinema site is for any and all exhibitors to share case studies, source guidance and access the latest data around diverse audience groups.

7 Principles to Ensure an Inclusive Recovery
We Shall Not Be Removed has worked in partnership with Ramps on the Moon, Attitude is Everything, Paraorchestra, and What Next? to create a new guide for the arts and entertainment sectors to support disability inclusion.
The focus of this unique initiative, which builds from our #InclusiveRecovery campaign, is to ensure deaf, neurodiverse and disabled people are not discriminated against as creative work begins again and as venues re-open.
The Seven Principles offer practical guidance to arts and cultural organisations to support disabled artists, audiences, visitors, participants and employees.
