In
Partnership with the Autism Society, We Bring AMC Sensory Friendly Films to
Families Affected by Autism on a Monthly Basis to Select Communities.
The program provides a special
opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting
environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the
sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk,
shout or sing!
The idea for the program began with
a request from a parent with an autistic child for a special screening at AMC
Columbia Mall 14 in Columbia, MD. More than 300 children and parents attended
the first screening.
We are thrilled to now offer the
program at many locations nationwide — please see below for a complete
list of participating theatres. As a leading theatrical exhibition company, we
are so proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans
living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a
movie together — often for the very first time.
