Accessibility

At the Noordelijk Film Festival, we pay attention to (communicating about) accessibility. On this page you will find more information about access to the festival with reduced mobility and about wheelchair spaces.

We are aware that the concept of accessibility involves much more than just reduced mobility. Every year we try to develop further and make the Noordelijk Film Festival accessible(er) to an ever-widening group of visitors.

We are learning and are open to questions, tips and comments. Contact our inclusion & diversity coordinator, Bernou Ozinga, at info@noordelijkfilmfestival.nl

Wheelchair spaces and access with reduced mobility

A number of wheelchair spaces are available for each festival venue or hall. Reserve a wheelchair space by emailing tickets@noordelijkfilmfestival.nl. We would like to hear as early as possible that you want to reserve a wheelchair space. Please also let us know in your mail if you are coming with someone, and we will try to take this into account in the placement. If you’ve emailed us, we’ll make sure a Noordelijk Film Festival staff member is on hand to escort you to the lift and wheelchair space in the auditorium where necessary. On arrival at the festival site, report to the information desk or box office.

Do you have mobility problems, reduced mobility or another question? Send an email to info@noordelijkfilmfestival.nl so we can think with you.
