Deaffest 2008, the tenth annual deaf-led film and TV festival will be held in Wolverhampton at the Light House 28-30 November.
The weekend of festivities will include screenings of films produced by UK and International Deaf filmmakers; Young Deaffest, which showcases work produced by young Deaf filmmakers; and a conference on Opportunities for Deaf Filmmakers, with panel discussions on how to pitch for funding for a short or feature film, a new Deaf TV channel and content for new online and mobile platforms
The programme looks quite impressively stuffed. Tickets are free, save for the Saturday night’s gala event (£12.50 and available from www.theticketsellers.co.uk).
