Showing of “Brave” will be New Jersey’s second Sensory Friendly Films presentation of June

Theatres in Clifton, Elizabeth, Freehold, New Brunswick, Rockaway and Wayne
will show the hit movie on June 30, for those with Tourette Syndrome and associated disorders

 

AMC Theatres and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disorders, such as Tourette Syndrome, a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe, accepting environment on a monthly basis with the “Sensory Friendly Films” program.

After successful turnouts throughout 2011 and over the first half of 2012, the program once again will be coming to New Jersey, on Saturday, June 30, when six AMC Theatres around the state will show “Brave” at 10 a.m. Tickets are $4 to $6 and can be purchased on the day of the event. This comes on the heels of a showing of “Madagascar 3” on June 16.

To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down; families can bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks; and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Attendees also are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing – AMC’s “Silence is Golden” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.

AMC Clifton Commons 16 – 405 Route 3, Clifton, NJ 07014-1911, 973-614-0966
