Deaffest 2019 makes a comeback after a year’s break! The biennial festival will be returning to Wolverhampton, UK from the 17th to 19th May 2019, with the theme: ‘Share Your Story’.
“There are so many ways to share your story, whether it be through films, arts, performances or sign language. We want the festival to inspire the visitors, including the deaf younger generation, to find their own inner story and gain the skills and confidence to tell it to the world. Let the ‘Once Upon a Time’ begin…” – Deaffest team
Throughout history, storytelling has been linked to culture and at the 13th international festival, Deaffest will be celebrating the storytelling tradition by bringing Deaf Artists, Filmmakers and Performers together from across the world to explore visual storytelling in all its forms.
The UK’s leading Deaf-led Film & Arts Festival will include the popular bustling stalls fair, a showcase of films and documentaries by UK and international filmmakers, the exciting 7th Film & TV Awards Gala with live entertainment, an exhibition showcasing the works of deaf artists and photographers, workshops for adults and children, the Late Night Deaf Party with competitions and much more.
