Nikki Stratton, Co-founder and Director of Deaffest, is profoundly Deaf and relies on British Sign Language (BSL). In this one-hour workshop she will give you an insight into the world of films produced by talented D/deaf filmmakers from the UK and across the globe, the typical barriers they face and the ways these barriers can be overcome. With 11 million people in the UK having some degree of hearing loss, this workshop will inspire you and get you thinking about including D/deaf people in your festival/organisation. Tips on how to target D/deaf audiences will also be highlighted, including advice on access provision i.e. subtitles/captioning and Sign Language.
Deaffest is the UK’s leading Deaf-led Films and Arts Festival www.deaffest.co.uk
Over the past 15 years, Deaffest has proudly screened and supported the works of emerging and established D/deaf filmmakers. The Forthcoming 2022 Deaffest festival (its 14th edition), will showcase, as always, not just the films themselves, but also the talents of D/deaf filmmakers, actors, writers and more, providing inspiration to the D/deaf artists and all those who aspire to work in the film industry.
All workshops will take place on Zoom and participants will receive a link in advance of the session. The workshops are free but registration is required.
All Film Camp sessions will have live BSL interpretation.
