Watch Party - Watch the Speechless programme along with other festival goers and get involved in the live chat!


Since the early days of cinema, stories have been told using a mixture of visuals and music cues; captivating audiences with quick glances shared between characters, intimate close-ups and slapstick comedy routines. This programme can be enjoyed in any language, and proves that you don’t need dialogue to tell an amazing story. Break free from the boundaries of language and escape into the world of pure visual storytelling. Sit back, relax, and let these speechless films take you on an adventure of a lifetime; immersing yourself in a diverse selection of tales about friendship, familial dramas, and perseverance.

Freeze frame: the most absurd technique since the invention of the moving image. Through an elaborate process of duplicating the same image over and over again, it creates the illusion of stillness.

In this stop motion film, identical figures perform the hopeless task of preserving blocks of ice, like archivists. The repetitive movements reanimate the animals captured inside.
