SPECIAL EVENT: Deaf Rochester Film Fest 2011 (3/31-4/3) - Choice Events - Rochester City Newspaper
Despite the prominent presence of schools and institutions for deaf culture, Rochester's large deaf community often remains cut off from communication with the non-signing public. But where there's art, there is a bridge for any divide. The Deaf Rochester Film Festival, which has taken place biennially since 2005, is dedicated to enabling deaf and hard-of-hearing filmmakers to showcase their artistic and creative talents, and increasing awareness about issues deaf and hard-of-hearing filmmakers face in the industry.
From Thursday, March 31, through Sunday, April 3, the Deaf Rochester Film Festival will take place at various sites, including RIT, ArtisanWorks, George Eastman House, and the Little Theatre, and will include screenings, panel discussions, workshops, a book sale and other events.
The schedule, which can be found online at deafrochesterfilmfestival.org, is tentative and is subject to change. Tickets for events range in price from free to $25, or $63 for a full festival pass, and can be purchased at the door. All events will be spoken-word interpreted for hearing audiences.
