Tickets: £4.50 (£3 concession)
Cinema for the Deaf will feature an exciting programme of international short films curated by award-winning film-maker and BSL student Matt Hulse. The films have been selected primarily from the sixth Deaf Film & TV Festival (Wolverhampton) and the Festival of Cinema for the Deaf (Chicago), but will include relevant and important works from other important international short-film festivals such as Ann Arbor (USA), Impakt (Holland) and Oberhausen (Germany). Three of the films were originally made for VEE-TV.
The drama, animation, documentary and experimental films have been made by deaf film-makers or are specifically suitable for a deaf audience, but will also appeal to the hearing - particularly those who consider themselves interested in innovative, contemporary film-making at its very best!
The programme will include:
• Remark! Productions' spoof of Reservoir Wolves, directed by Ramon Woolfe. Originally shot in BSL and newly captioned for an international audience
• Finnish deaf film-maker/dancer Juho Saarinen's Silent World of 100db
• Vita Gottlieb's Metronome, a film about a deaf pianist's love for music
• Bim Ajadi's Queen's New English. BSL for the MTV generation?
• Sam Dore's Chronic Embarrassment. Lightning-fast, razor-sharp BSL lampoons the common preconceptions of the hearing world!
• Virgil Widrich's stunning Oscar-nominated Copy Shop.
Following the screenings there will be question-and-answer sessions with the filmmakers and presentations by other key deaf and hearing figures in the media industries. BSL interpreters will be available and all films captioned where appropriate. The Filmhouse bar will be available for unresolved discussions that arise from these talks!
The programme may not be suitable for children under the age of 12.
