CONTENT WARNING
WHAT ARE CONTENT WARNINGS?
WHY DO WE NEED THEM?
Content Warnings are written notices of any potentially triggering or sensitive content, with a particular emphasis on themes/images that could worsen the physiological and psychological symptoms of PTSD, C-PTSD, and Anxiety. While the Digi60 Filmmakers’ Festival acknowledges that it is impossible to account for all triggers, we believe that our Content Warnings will provide ample warning of the more commonly acknowledged triggers.
Our Content Warnings are not intended to censor filmmakers, nor to dissuade audiences from engaging in challenging, thought-provoking content. They are intended to help audiences make informed decisions and adequately prepare themselves for any potentially sensitive content. We see this as part of our duty of care, and as an extension of our access policies.
As an organization, Digi60 strives to provide an environment for our filmmakers and patrons that is both creative and safe.
Making content warnings available is a way for us to do both.
