2 The essence of our project Ministry of ICT s Cine Para Todos project, literally meaning Cinema for Everyone, is a space of entertainment and inclusive culture that allows people with visual, auditory and/or cognitive disability to enjoy accessible cinema functions for free in 12 cities throughout Columbia, thanks to: Audio Technologies Description: Allows blind people to listen through a device in the room (simultaneous translation equipment) or a free mobile application, the description/narration of the whole story and what appears on the screen. Interpretation in Colombian sign language: Allows deaf people to have the interpretation of the film in Colombian sign language, through a tablet or a free mobile application. Special subtitling: Allows deaf or low-vision people to read the subtitles with high contrast colors on the screen, facilitating the understanding of the film.

Inclusive SmarTIC: Cinema creation workshops with mobile devices for people with visual, auditory and physical impairment: from April to June 2016, the ICT ministry with the support of Smart films, conducted 3 theoretical workshops on film creation with mobile devices that were given to people with visual, auditory and physical disabilities.

The main objective of these activities was to provide basic knowledge to motivate these people to make short films to participate in inclusive SmarTIC.
