It's kind of a requirement for me. If we're watching TV, we have to have the captions on. Seeing a film in the theater is a little more complicated.
On Friday, the U.S. Dramatic Competition jurors at the Sundance Film Festival walked out of the theatrical screening of "Magazine Dreams" because a captioning device provided to one of the jurors, Marlee Matlin, didn't work. Matlin is Deaf. Other jurors Jeremy O. Harris and Eliza Hittman collectively walked out with Matlin in support. According to Variety, the device was repaired "hours later," but too late for the jurors to see the premiere.
