32 of us sitting on the chairs with 4 tables in the room with white and bricked walls. Hands waving that signifies applauding to the film!

Great turnouts #DCAC @Wshed.bsky.social after watching ‘Deaf’ #Sorda with @hardiewrites. Interesting themes - relationship, family across generation, social norms and most importantly the role of language reflecting the reality of deaf lives within a ‘perfect’ world. Beautifully executed shootings!

A big thank you to @cineredis.bsky.social for the opportunity to write about a real gem 💎 My top pick out of an already stunning line-up at this year’s Festival. Excited to attend! 📽️
