HOH subtitled screenings

HOH subtitles, or ‘closed captioning’, refers to subtitles specifically intended for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. They are a transcription rather than a translation, so as well as reproducing dialogue in films, aim to describe every additional non-dialogue sound available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. These subtitles are hard-coded onto the screen. All guests are welcome to purchase tickets to these screenings and in our experience, hearing guests at these performances do not find the subtitles to be distracting at all.

No Other Choice

When family man and paper specialist Yoo Man-soo (Lee Byung-hun) loses his job after 25 years of service, he’s at risk of losing the life he has worked so hard for. To secure his next role, he plans to eliminate his competitors by any means necessary. Addressing family dysfunction, gender roles and the state of the nation itself, director Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, Oldboy) delivers a thrillingly wicked film with his signature dark humour, twists and rich visual style. No Other Choice is based on Donald E Westlake’s satirical horror-thriller The Ax from 1997, previously filmed in 2005 by Costa-Gavras, to whom this film is dedicated. Warning: This film contains sequences with flashing or flickering lights that may affect individuals with photosensitivity. Viewer discretion is advised.
