Voices From El-Sayed (CTBA) S
Dir: Odeod Adomi Leshem
74 mins, 2008, Israel, Subtitled
Please note: this is an old screening, first shown in May 2009
The Bedouin Village of El-Sayed has the largest percentage of Deaf people in the world. Through generations a unique sign language has evolved as the primary communication in a society that accepts deafness as natural as life itself. That is, until the village's tranquil coexistence between Deaf and hearing is disrupted by Salim's decision to dramatically change his Deaf son's fate through a Cochlear Implant operation. Presented in partnership with University of Bristol's Centre for Deaf Studies, the screening will be followed by a discussion on the issues raised in this intimate and moving documentary. BSL Interpreters will be present.
Fee: £6.50 full / £5.00 concessions

A festival of film and music
We're mad about music and film. So much so we've created a brand new festival dedicated to this most enduring of relationships, and it all kicks off this weekend with a special focus on the music of the maestro himself: Ennio Morricone.

Roman Polanski's latest sees two couples try to talk through a minor incident amicably - with quite the opposite result! A hysterically funny descent into some very, very enjoyable bad behaviour.
