Most of the festival venues have wheelchair access. Cinemas that are fully accessible and have disabled bathrooms will be indicated with a wheelchair symbol.

If cinemas have a symbol depicting a person in a wheelchair and a second person, they are wheelchair accessible. However, the bathroom can only be accessed with the help of another person.
