It Fell on Deaf Ears
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.
Cast: Émilie Boulet-Lévesque, Denise Lefebvre, Daz Saunders
