10 Years of Deaf Conversations About Cinema - A Quiet Love + Echoes of The Past

A special afternoon celebration of 10 Years of Deaf Conversations About Cinema at Watershed, our monthly film club designed for D/deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing audiences to discuss films in a welcoming environment.

Over those 10 years we’ve watched over 100 films together and had some brilliant conversations. Please join us to watch two more great films followed by Q&As with the filmmakers. Join us in the Café & Bar after the screening to continue the celebration with conversation and, of course, cake!
