Audio description screening of the Disney film 'Big Hero 6' at The Belfast Barge, part of the Cinemagic Festival 2026.
Big Hero 6 is showing at The Belfast Barge on Sunday 1 November, as part of the Cinemagic Festival 2026. The festival's theme this year is Gears & Galaxies, and this screening fits right in: it's the Disney film about Hiro Hamada, a 14-year-old robotics prodigy who, after a tragic loss, repurposes Baymax, an inflatable healthcare robot, and equips a team of university geniuses with high-tech gear to stop a masked villain. It's a story of loss and friendship, and the robot is as big a draw as the action.
What makes this a particular kind of screening is that it's an audio description showing. Rather than the description coming through private headsets, it's delivered out loud in the venue, so everyone can hear the commentary of the film's visuals. It's a different way of watching, and it's open to everyone, not just those who usually rely on audio description.
The Belfast Barge is a permanent fixture on the River Lagan, moored just behind the Waterfront Hall, so it's an easy spot to find. The film is rated PG for mild threat and scary scenes, and it runs for 102 minutes. It starts at 13:00 and finishes around 14:45, making it a proper Sunday afternoon thing.
