Now Showing: Movies for all with audio descriptions
The waves crash against the shore as a small boat scrapes onto the sand. Dharmadas helps his wife, Vasanthi, and their two sons, Nithushan and Mulli, onto the unfamiliar beach. The air smells of salt and damp earth. Behind them lies Valvettithurai as a memory now. Ahead, Rameswaram and a sense of hope. This opening scene in Tourist Family, a Tamil film, was screened with audio description at AbilityFEST2025 in Chennai. It is rich with mood and movement, which most of us can easily understand — with wholesome visuals, emotions, and sounds. But what happens when someone can't see the screen? Or hear the nuance in a voice? After watching a movie, many cinema buffs share thoughts about it the moment they walk out of the theatre. They post Instagram stories, write reviews on Letterboxd, or talk about it with friends. But for many Persons with Disabilities (PwD), even this basic connection to a story — the joy of reacting to a scene or simply followingwhat's going on — depends on something far more fundamental: access.

Hailee Steinfeld's solo Paris adventure goes viral while Josh Allen enjoys a celeb-stacked golf weekend
Newlyweds and Josh Allen are spending the summer embracing both love and their individual passions. After tying the knot in May, the couple celebrated the Fourth of July in Southern California. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But soon after their beach getaway, they took separate paths — one headed to Paris Fashion Week and the other to a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. Where's Josh? Hailee Steinfeld's Paris trip photos raise eyebrows as Josh Allen hits the golf course alone Hailee Steinfeld, making her first major solo appearance since the wedding, took off to the City of Light alongside her mother, Cheri Steinfeld, to attend Tamara Ralph's haute couture runway show. Known for designing all three of Hailee's wedding dresses, Ralph's artistry clearly holds deep significance for the actress. Seated front row in a dazzling gown featuring silver lace, three black bows, and a high slit, Steinfeld truly embodied Parisian glamour. In her Beau Society newsletter, Steinfeld reflected on her short but inspiring visit. 'Earlier this week, I took a quick trip to the fashion capital with my mom, and as is the case whenever I visit that city, I've returned home with more inspiration than I know what to do with.' She wore a Tamara Ralph dress from a previous collection, adding, 'It felt perfect for Paris couture; I loved everything about it, from the long sleeves to the silver lace detail to, of course, the bows!' While Allen wasn't by her side, he remained on her mind. 'Last time Josh and I were in Paris, we went to Pink Mamma and raved about it, so my mom requested we go back this time, which I happily obliged,' she shared. Hailee also delighted fans on Instagram with a carousel of Paris moments, captioned with a simple 'oui!' Her post included behind-the-scenes glimpses, mouth-watering meals, and a heartfelt fan encounter. In a video, she recounted, 'Hey, I didn't want to interrupt your dinner, but I'm eating dinner with my friends and just wanted to say we love your movies! I hope you enjoy,' sharing the fan's sweet message. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Back in the U.S., Allen was navigating a more challenging scene. Paired with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield at the American Century Championship, the Bills quarterback struggled to find his rhythm. 'I lost my swing today. I can't find it. The boys are struggling,' he admitted during a mid-round NBC interview. Despite a birdie on the 18th, he ended the round 10-over-par, tied for 33rd place. While they pursued their separate interests this week, the power couple is clearly thriving. Steinfeld's Paris trip left her creatively recharged, while Allen's determination to compete—even on an off day—shows his ever-present drive. Together or apart, these two are making headlines for all the right reasons. Also Read:
