“We can see that the bigger the capacity, the more difficult it is for people with disabilities. And here it was perfect, it was inversely proportional. The other festivals we’ve been to have a lot more room for improvement than Hellfest.

…Synopsys…

Festival accessibility for people with disabilities is often an overlooked topic, yet it’s incredibly important. In this compelling episode of the Unscene series, we dive into Hellfest’s PSH (People with Special Needs) initiative, where accessibility isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a priority.

Sociologist Corentin Charbonnier follows the journey of residents from the Pension de famille de l’Orangerie in Amboise, as they embark on their first Hellfest experience in 2023. From the excitement to the challenges, they share their raw, honest thoughts on the festival’s organization, their fears, and the impactful feedback that will shape future events.

Unlike many larger festivals, Hellfest’s approach was refreshingly different—proving that bigger capacity doesn’t always mean less accessibility. In fact, their efforts were a standout example of what could be achieved when inclusivity is at the core.

Catch this inspiring documentary that brings to light essential conversations and showcases best practices in festival accessibility. Unscene: Making Hell Accessible premiered at the Omega Sound Fest and the Etats Généraux du Metal in Montpellier 2024, sparking much-needed dialogue on how we can make music festivals accessible for all.
