“Telephone” is an activist screendance documentary celebrating emotionally rich, poetic audio description for dance, which allows blind and visually impaired people to be included fully in the joy of artistic expression.

Created specifically with a visually impaired audience in mind, the film brings awareness to the important art form of audio description for dance while facilitating an immersive sensory experience for audience members of all sight levels. Featuring diverse disabled and non-disabled artists from across the globe, “Telephone” demystifies and legitimizes audio description, not just as an access tool, but as a beautiful, rich art form in its own right. Accessibility features include audio description, open captions, and in-frame ASL interpretation.
