Case Study: London Short Film Festival creates a fully accessible online festival with Subly

How LSFF created a fully accessible online film festival with Subly

The London Short Film Festival (LSFF) faced the challenge of making its first online festival fully accessible, requiring SRT subtitle files for hundreds of films. Their previous process for creating SRT files was manual, complicated, and time-consuming for their filmmakers, making it difficult to meet their strict accessibility standards and serve Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences.

Subly provided a solution by implementing a streamlined workflow that allowed filmmakers to easily transcribe, create, and export accurate SRT files. Using Subly’s tools, LSFF ensured every film was subtitled, saving significant time and enabling them to host a successful, fully accessible online event that attracted a global audience and received very positive feedback.
