It Fell on Deaf Ears

It Fell on Deaf Ears 2016 Directed by Véro Leduc C'est tombé dans l'oreille d'une sourde

Deafhood through Graphic Signed Novel

Because Quebec Sign Language cannot be captured on paper, videography has revealed itself to be the best way to represent this visual language. The first ‘comic strip’ in sign language, the film depicts snatches of conversations between various deaf and hearing protagonists. A visit to a silent world, where the hearing impaired ask us to listen to them.
