Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Director
Six deaf performers-three women, three men- are brought together to devise staged pieces based on their experience of gay and deaf cultures intersecting, and the highly politicized nature of both in Britain. The result is a diverse, assertive collage, ranging from advice on how to seduce a librarian( in silence, of course), to the importance of short hair in visibly proclaiming your lesbianism and deafness: plus an essential beginner's guide to sexual signing. Shot entirely in British Sign Language with subtitles for the hearing.
