Since 1998, Wolverhampton’s Light House has hosted the annual Deaf Film and Arts Festival. Originally a collaboration with the BDA, the festival took a hiatus in 2005 and was re-launched in 2006 as Deaffest with Zebra Uno, an innovative company specialising in Deaf media and Communication solutions, at the helm. Deaffest has since built up a national and international reputation as a Deaf-led festival that places great emphasis on showcasing films from Deaf filmmakers and nurturing Deaf talent.
