The concept is to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities thel opportunity to enjoy their films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis.
The participating theaters will have their lights on and sound turned down. Families can bring in their own snacks. No previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are "welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing -the AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy is not enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned."
You can find participating theaters in Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Denver; Detroit; Ft. Lauderdale, Fla; New York City; Orlando, Fla.; Philadelphia; Seattle; and St. Louis.
The next Sensory Friendly Film will be Hotel For Dogs, on January 31 at 10 am local time.
Our closest participating theater is:
AMC Loews Kips Bay 15
570 Second Ave.
New York, NY 10016
(212) 447-0638
