General announcements

The Audio Description Project website has been re-designed. We’ve got new pages and new features, along with the unique information about audio description that you depend on. In this article, we’ll present a tour of the new layout and functions. The process of updating and improving continues, so please visit often to keep up with all the exciting developments.

Website Structure

There is now a horizontal menu bar on each page with drop-down headings that lead to related pages. The headings are: About Us, About Audio Description, Where to Find AD, AD Resources, Events, and Get Involved.

  • Under About Us, you’ll find information about the Audio Description Project, including: ADP Mission and History, Staff and Committees, ADP Conference, and Awards and Contests.
  • Under About Audio Description, you’ll find useful information about the creation and provision of AD in various media types. The pages are: FAQs, AD for Film and TV, for Performing Arts, for Museums and Parks, and for Education.
  • Under Where to Find AD, you can access: the Film and Series Title Directory, TV Listings, Performing Arts, and Museums, Parks, and Tours.
  • Under AD Resources, you’ll find pages dedicated to: Training Sessions and Materials, Podcasts, Technology, Samples, Legislation, AD Professionals Directory, and the ADP Archives, which includes additional resources and information on international resources.
  • Under Events, you’ll find details about: the Audio Description Institute, the ADP Conference, the Awards Gala, and UniDescription.
  • Under Get Involved, you can discover how to Join the ADP Discussion List, Contact Us, and Donate.

On the home page, we’ll always have a few articles and announcements to keep you up-to-date on the latest ADP news and events. There is also a list of Top Links that will take you directly to the page you want.

Content

We did a little streamlining as we re-designed the site, pruning outdated information and dead links. Some details have been consolidated on new pages that didn’t exist on the old site, while other bits formerly on one page have been re-distributed under the new structure.

Some of these changes might take a little time to get used to, but we hope that the logic of the new structure and the FAQs page will help you find what you need. If you get really stuck, please feel free to contact us - we’ve always depended on you to make us better!

The Film and Series Title Directory

This directory - the only one in the world - is easily our most popular page. We think you’ll love it even more now that we’ve added great filter and sort features.

There are multiple ways to find films and series with audio description. From any page on this site, you can type a title or keyword into the search box located in the banner below the main menu (just start typing - the cursor is automatically in the search box; you can also skip the typing and simply hit the Enter key to be taken to the directory page). Or you can navigate to Where to Find AD and select Film/Series Title Directory. On this page, you can filter to find the movies and shows that interest you. You can search and then filter your results, or you can start on the Filters panel.

In the Filters panel on the left, there are five options:

  • Provider: how to access the title; i.e., the name of the TV network or streaming service, whether it's in movie theaters or on DVD, etc.
  • Genre: lists the most popular genres (comedy, drama, horror, documentary, etc); at the end of the list, click “more” for additional niche options
  • Rating: most movies are rated using the MPAA structure (G, PG, PG-13, R, etc); TV shows and some streaming providers use different systems, so there might be occasional discrepancies. Most movies and shows produced before rating systems were introduced have not been rated (typically indicated by “NR”).
  • Media Type: Both films and series will appear in your search results unless you select either Movies Only or Series Only.
  • Language: English-language titles will appear in search results unless you choose a different language. If you prefer another language, check the appropriate box; only one language can be selected at a time.

Once you’ve got results, you can click on headings in the result table to sort by release year or type (movie or series). The results will be displayed alphabetically by title, and you can reverse that order by clicking on “title.”

TV Listings

Want to know what’s on the TV right now? Go to the TV Listings page (under the Where to Find AD drop-down in the main navigation bar). There are two tabs on this page: Daily TV Schedule and List by Network.

On the Daily TV Schedule tab, you can access listings by day and filter by time and network, or simply search for a specific title.

On the List by Network tab, you can browse titles that have aired on TV networks within the last few months, including dates of the most recent and the next air dates.

And There's More to Come...

The re-design isn't complete - we just couldn't wait to share these big changes with you, even though we've still got a little work to do. If there are details you noticed on the old site but can't locate now, it might be in a different place, or it might be part of our next phase of improvements. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide you with information you can't find anywhere else.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the new site! You can get involved and support the ADP by:

  • joining the ADP email discussion list: participate in the lively community of AD aficionados and share what you love about AD

  • following us on social media: we're on Facebook, Instagram, and X - follow the ADP and never miss an update

  • donating: as a nonprofit, we rely on donations to ensure we're able to collect and present the information on this site.

Enjoy all the new features, and stay tuned for even more!
