Democrat & Chronicle: Living
The Second Deaf Rochester Film Festival will be held from March 23 to 25. Headlining the event will be Hear and Now, a documentary that won the audience award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Hear and Now was made by Irene Taylor Brodsky and features her parents — Sodus, Wayne County, retirees Sally and Paul Taylor. The Taylors received cochlear transplants late in life. The movie screens March 24 at The Little Theatre.
Most of the films will be at Rochester Institute of Technology, which is hosting the festival. It features films created by deaf filmmakers and with deaf characters or themes. The Taylors are RIT retirees.
The keynote speaker will be Wayne Betts Jr., who studied in the School of Film and Animation at RIT and is co-founder of Mösdeux, a California film and commercial production house geared toward the nationwide deaf and hard-of-hearing community. His new film is Resonare.
Tickets will be $10 per night or $35 for a festival pass. For more information, go to www.drff.org.
