Open Caption Screenings

Open Captions: When possible, the Dairy will provide open caption screenings of films in the Boedecker Theater and will be noted on the event page for the film. Open captions are captions that are permanently visible in movies, TV and online videos. In addition to dialogue, they display important audio information on-screen, separate from subtitles accompanying films in a language other than English. Unlike closed captions, they are burned into the film and can’t be switched on or off.

Closed Captions: Closed Caption Glasses (Captionwear CCH-100) are available the Boedecker Cinema for certain screenings!  Click here to see a list of upcoming screenings that offer closed caption technology.

Subtitled Screenings: Approximately 1/3 of the films we show are international. With few exceptions, films in a language other than English will be shown with English subtitles on screen regardless of whether or they are also compatible with closed caption glasses.
