Our inclusion initiatives

OUR APPROACH

The Lille Hauts-de-France International Festival of Series strives to make itself accessible to everyone. Each year it strengthens its approach to including people with disabilities (motor, visual, hearing and mental disabilities).

This area has been set up to help you prepare for your visit to the Festival and make the most of the 8 days of programming at the 2024 edition of Séries Mania.

The following facilities have been put in place to make it as easy as possible for festival-goers with disabilities to attend:

  • A ticket office dedicated to reserving seats in the projection rooms, from Wednesday 28 February (subject to availability).
    Please send your request directly to billetterie@seriesmania.com or call us on 03 59 59 07 44 (your request will be given priority)
  • A number dedicated to reserving specific seats in the auditorium for people with disabilities (seats in the front rows for lip-reading optimisation, armchairs, seats near corridors etc.).
  • A reduced rate of 20€ on the SERIES MANIA PASS for people with disabilities (on presentation of the Mobility Inclusion Card) and free admission for the accompanying person (booking by email and telephone only from February 14).
  • The Series Mania + is freely accessible to disabled audiences
  • A volunteer team trained in special care
  • Priority access to all festival sites, via the “GUESTS, SERIES MANIA PASS, PARTNERS, ACCREDITATED, PRM, PSH and PRESS” lanes
  • Dedicated areas for people with reduced mobility for the Fan-Clubs in the Village and for the Tapis Rouges in the Nouveau Siècle.
  • Wheelchair spaces in almost all screening rooms (with the exception of rooms 6 and 9 at UGC Ciné-Cité).
