MJFF Offering Closed Captioning for Virtual Films

The Miami Jewish Film Festival (MJFF), the largest festival of its kind in the world, is offering closed captioning for 16 English-language feature films premiering online through its virtual festival, running January 13-25, 2023. The closed captioning project was made possible with the support of the Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and will enable people with hearing and other disabilities to have better access to the virtual movies. The MJFF also plans to offer these closed captioning files to other festivals across the US, thereby providing access and inclusivity to numerous communities.
