Director: Nicolas Philibert
Running Time: 99 minutes
France 1992
Post Screening Discussion With Director
   
  What is the world like for the thousands of people who live in silence? Jean-Claude, Abou, Claire, Philo and all the rest, who have been totally deaf since birth or since the early months of their lives, dream, think and communicate through signs. With them we set off to discover that distant land where seeing and touching are of such crucial importance. This film tells their story and gives us a glimpse of the world through their eyes.
   
  Screening: 25 October at 7.30 p.m.: Maison Francaise
