Introduction
Film accessibility addresses the essential process of making a film fully accessible and inclusive. The conventional methods to achieve film accessibility include audio description (AD) for the blind and visually impaired audience, subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) and sign language interpreting (SLI) for the audience with hearing impairments. This special section addresses film accessibility by focusing exclusively on the audio description practice and research in the context of China.
电影无障碍解决的是电影可被所有人欣赏并包容所有受众的问题。实现电影无障碍的手段包括针对盲人和视障者的口述影像(AD)、针对聋哑人和听障者的听障者字幕(SDH)和手语翻译(SLI)。“中国无障碍电影”专栏关注电影可及性,聚焦中国口述影像的实践和研究。
This special section brings together three articles, primarily giving a voice to practitioners in the field and early career researchers working on their PhD projects on topics in accessibility. This dedicated section aims to kickstart academic conversations on enhancing film accessibility for individuals with vision impairments in China. Ideally, all viewers will have the opportunity to enjoy and comprehend films in the not-too-distant future.

Following a holistic review of the current situation in Shenzhen, this article identified potential problems with the quantity and quality of accessible films, as well as the physical facilities and virtual services used to view them. It then made suggestions for improvements in operating modes, nurturing of talent, and screening channels. The mission to improve the film-watching experience of VIPs in China is far from complete and there is still a long way to go even before much relevant research can be undertaken.
通过对深圳市无障碍电影现状进行全面考察,文章发现无障碍电影的数量和质量,以及用于观影的物理设施和虚拟服务等方面存在问题。作者从无障碍电影的运营模式、人才培养、放映渠道等方面提出了改进建议。指出提高中国视障群体观影体验以及相关研究仍有很长的路要走。本文主要对中国无障碍电影的现状进行了全面的分析,指出其在生产和发型方面可能存在的问题,然后在此基础上,提出其在运营模式、相关培训和放映渠道方面的建议。

The aim of this article is twofold: firstly, to systematise the differences in AD development between China and Europe, with Spain and the UK as reference countries; secondly, to investigate whether there are any areas where China and Europe can learn from each other to improve this service in the future. The results show that the high input from users in China can be useful for AD practices in Europe, while collaboration at all levels backed by European legislation can be essential in promoting AD professionalisation and standardisation in China.
文章主要对中国口述影像的发展模式和相对成熟的欧洲国家进行比较,指出其异同点。首先以西班牙和英国为参照,系统分析了中国和欧洲在口述影像方面的差异。其次,考察了中国和欧洲在口述影像领域是否可以相互借鉴,提升服务质量。研究结果表明,中国口述影像中受众的高度参与对欧洲的口述影像具有借鉴意义,而欧洲以立法层面要求全方位的合作,对促进中国口述影像的专业化和标准化至关重要。
