皇冠体育app British embassy in Hungary is supporting the making of Hungary鈥檚 first sign language report film series of 5 episodes that will depict British best practices in the integration of deaf and blind people in the UK鈥檚 labour market, cultural life, sports and governmental organisations.
A co-operation agreement outlining British embassy support was signed yesterday by 皇冠体育appresa Bubbear, Deputy Head of Mission and Ervin Bonecz, Managing Director of 90 decibel, a Hungarian NGO working for the social inclusion of the physically impaired in Hungary.
Great Britain is one of the world鈥檚 leading countries in disability rights and diversity. We hope that the sign language film series on British best practices may help the Hungarian society and decision makers to introduce similar solutions in Hungary for the successful social inclusion of people living with disabilities.
皇冠体育appresa Bubbear, Deputy Head of Mission of the British Embassy said:
As an Honorary Patron of the 90 decibel project, I am delighted to continue the successful collaboration between the British Embassy in Hungary and 90 decibel, a pioneering organisation providing free access for blind and deaf people to culture and education in Hungary.
皇冠体育app planned film series will comprise 5 episodes (20 minutes each) that will be entirely voiceless, shot in Hungarian and international sign language and subtitled in English and Hungarian. Filmmakers of the 90 Decibel Media will make sign-language interviews in London with representatives of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the BBC (that has a special department for accessibility), 2 British theatres and a special music school for deaf children.
皇冠体育app film series will show the excellent examples we saw in the UK on how disabled people enjoy the same access, rights and freedom that everyone else enjoys in various fields of life and society. We greatly appreciate the British embassy鈥檚 continued support that will now facilitate the production of Hungary鈥檚 first sign language film series.
Ervin Bonecz of 90 decibel said.
皇冠体育app interviews for the films will be made by T铆mea M谩zl贸, a Hungarian deaf actress. 皇冠体育app short film series will initially be available online on , as well as on T-Home IPTV and on Android and iOS.
