DEAR HEARING WORLD (Adam Docker, UK) - A short film based on Raymond Antrobus’ poem by the same name. The film blends Raymond’s spoken words with music and deaf actress Vilma Jackson’s powerful and thought-provoking performance in British Sign Language with striking urban London scenes. https://www.redearthstudio.com/dear-hearing-world/ #DearHearingWorld

A SONIC PULSE (Dorothy Allen-Pickard & Antoine Marinot, UK) - "Music shouldn't be defined by hearing people because it's about feeling vibrations and frequencies." A Sonic Pulse explores D/deaf people’s experience of electronic music from a visceral, communal and scientific perspective. 

MÓÐIR (Patrick Barklamb, UK) - The story of how a young individual, the filmmaker, became deaf in his right ear. This is a portrait and testimony of what his life is now like, reflecting on the experience. 

THE SILENT CHILD (Chris Overton, UK) - A deaf 6-year-old girl named Libby lives in a world of silence until a caring social worker teaches her to use sign language to communicate. 

This programme is part of Altogether Now!, an inclusive and accessible film strand exploring themes of disability, difference, belonging and inclusion. Find out more about Cinemagic's virtual 2020 festival here: https://cinemagic.org.uk/
