Sensory-friendly screenings are modified showtimes designed for those overwhelmed by sensory stimulation. These screenings feature softer sound, dimmed lighting, and a relaxed environment where talking, moving, and self-soothing are welcome! Join Varsity Cinema and the Autism Society of Iowa for another journey to the Academy Award-winning land of Oz.

This screening is made possible with support from the Autism Society of Iowa and Variety Children’s Charity. Please contact us at team@desmoinesfilm.org with questions.
