Assistive Technology

The Fargo Theatre offers cinema support equipment for the hearing and/or visually impaired.

Patrons attending new-release movies at the Fargo Theatre have the opportunity to use specialty headphones and personal receivers designed to make the cinema experience inclusive for those that are deja, blind, hard-of-hearing, or visually impaired. The headphones can either amplify the existing soundtrack (for those with some hearing loss) or play a special soundtrack with audio description of the action on screen (for those that are visually impaired or blind). The Theatre also offers personal receivers that attach to a patron’s seat and provide Closed Captioning of a movie’s dialogue and sound effects. The receivers are helpful for the deaf or those with significant hearing loss.

Occasionally some independent, international, or classic films will not have the encoding necessary to use the support equipment. Patrons are encouraged to check for the symbols below in movie listings on this website or call the box office at 701-239-8385 to confirm if a specific title has these options available.
