Encounters Deaf Shorts 2019 is a new collection of live action short films that aim to normalise on screen D/deafness. This year’s programme gives a nod to the centenary of the suffragette movement with all leading roles being played by D/deaf women. The programme was carefully curated by Encounters Film Festival - the UK’s leading short film and animation festival, accredited to three major global awards: the Oscars, BAFTAs and European Film Awards. It includes the latest winner of the Encounters Deaf Shorts Showcase award – TO KNOW HIM by Ted Evans.
Descriptive subtitling for the hard of hearing is included on all the films in the programme.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
Presented in partnership with Nottingham City Council's Community Engagement Equalities team.
