This year we need to get your opinions about Deaffest and we’re using an evaluator who builds powerful stories from your experiences. John Dooner from DY3 Solutions will be at Deaffest this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He will be working with an interpreter and it’s a really good opportunity for you to tell us what you think and to use your contributions to build on the success of Deaffest as we go forward!
FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE FILM AWARDS GALA:
– Doors will open at 7.30pm.
– Cinema doors will be closed at 8.30pm to avoid disturbing the audience.
FOR THOSE WHO ONLY HAVE TICKETS FOR THE LATE NIGHT DEAF PARTY:
