This master’s thesis addresses the topic of accessibility at film festivals in the Czech Republic. The work aims to understand how the organizers of film festivals perceive and ensure the accessibility of their events, as well as the obstacles they must overcome. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the concept of accessibility and inclusion, different models of disability, principles of inclusive and universal design, and accessibility in the field of culture and film festivals. In the practical part, qualitative research is conducted through eight semi-structured interviews with the organizers of selected film festivals in the Czech Republic, identifying the main barriers and challenges in accessibility.
