Accessibility of the IFFMH

We cordially invite all people to visit the International Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg. That is why the IFFMH has set out to create access to the festival that is as barrier-free as possible.

German Sign Language

For the following events we offer a translation into German Sign Language:

  • The Opening Night and the Award Ceremony

German/English subtitles: All films shown at our festival are subtitled in both German and English (exception: we show German films with English subtitles only and English films with German subtitles only). In addition, there are SDH subtitles at the opening film (›Sharp Corner‹), the closing film (›Shepherds‹) and ›Big Boys‹, ›Dead Mail‹ , ›Gazer, ›Good One‹, ›Paying for it‹.

Venues

With one exception, our venues are at least barrier-free. We have made an effort to show each film once at a barrier-free or low-barrier venue.
