Brimming with magic, memory and metaphor, KING ARTHUR’S NIGHT explores themes of difference and disability, and fathers and sons.

From John Bolton – the filmmaker behind AIM FOR THE ROSES, which POV Magazine called “the wildest, craziest, smartest doc in years” – comes KING ARTHUR’S NIGHT, a genre-defying documentary film inspired by a medieval musical play created by an amazing company of artists living with and without Down syndrome, including award-winning playwrights Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef; visionary director James Long; and iconic musician Veda Hille; think: “The Green Knight” meets “Crip Camp”, but with songs.

King Arthur’s Night pushes the boundaries of “access aesthetics” – the understanding that accessibility practices both remove barriers, and contribute to the creative vocabulary of a work. The film features “Integrated Described Video”, or “IDV”, for the blind and partially sighted – carefully considered dialogue & narration & sound design that does the job that described video does, without having to turn it on, and without sighted audiences even realizing it. The film also features best in class captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing. Both of these features offer opportunities for truly accessible and inclusive screenings for audiences across differences – those who can see and those who can’t, and those who can hear and those who can’t, all gathering in the same theatres, having the same shared experiences.
