After its recent release in theaters, Cinemark Hoyts and Disney will offer screenings of the animated film WISH: The Power of Desires on January 14, subtly adapted to the needs and preferences of neurodivergent people and/or who choose spaces with reduced sensory stimuli, in order to provide an accessible proposal so that all people can enjoy the new film from Walt Disney Animation Studios. Tickets for the screenings, which will take place at 10:30 at the Cinemark Hoyts Alto Avellaneda, Palermo and Soleil cinemas, can be purchased online at https://www.cinemarkhoyts.com.ar/pelicula/WISH-FUNCION-DISTENDIDA and in person at the electronic ticket offices of the theaters.
What will the relaxed screenings of WISH: The Power of Wishes be like?
The relaxed screenings of WISH: The Power of Wishes in Cinemark Hoyts theaters will be projected in a low-stimulus environment, respecting the needs of people with sensory hypersensitivity who attend. Lighting and sound effects will be softened throughout the movie. You will be able to leave and enter the room as many times as necessary and there will be greater freedom of movement. At the same time, the occupancy of the rooms will be reduced for greater mobility and comfort.
It is important to note that, for anyone who needs it, you can attend the film with the preferred regulation devices (headphones, sensory toys, sunglasses, etc.), which can be used during the screenings. If someone wants to retire to a quieter place, they can use the spaces specifically designated to rest from the stimuli.
On the other hand, those who attend will have a system of information resources and signage specially designed to reduce anxiety through anticipation and accompany different needs. Anyone interested in accessing these materials and more information about the relaxed functions can go to https://www.cinemarkhoyts.com.ar/funcionesdistendidas.
During these screenings of WISH: The Power of Wishes, staff trained in neurodiversity and relaxed functions will be available inside the theaters to assist those who require it during the screenings.
The initiative is the result of collaborative work, which includes advice from the NGO Salidas Inclusivas, as well as specialists in social and cultural inclusion of neurodivergent people, coexistence and accessibility.
The relaxed screenings of WISH: The Power of Wishes are part of Cinemark Hoyts and Disney’s sustained commitment to continue providing more inclusive and accessible entertainment offerings that represent and can be enjoyed by more and more people. Its arrival in theaters adds to an extensive list of releases already provided by Cinemark Hoyts and Disney, including recent titles such as THE LITTLE MERMAID and ELEMENTS.
