Gallaudet University is proud to host the WORLDEAF Cinema Festival (WDCF) November 4-7, 2010. The four-day conference and competition will bring together both filmmakers and film fans to celebrate and discover the cinematic art of deaf and hard of hearing people, as well as of hearing people who produce films with or about deaf and hard of hearing people. Not only will the event spotlight the global dimensions of deaf cinema, it will also highlight the diversity of the world’s deaf and hard of hearing communities.
Honorary Chair of WDCF, Marlee Matlin will be presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the festival. Terry Riley, Chief Executive of the British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust, will receive WDCF’s International Media Award. Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., chairman and CEO of the Samuel Goldwyn Company will share his views as a film producer.
There will be some well-known Deaf names there including Jack Jason (Marlee Matlin's interpreter).
It sounds fun! I might attend! See you there!

ReplyDeleteHi Drew. I want to let you know about a new (and free) video messaging service on mailVU.com, that is a great tool for ASL use. It is entirely free to use, and is very simple. Nothing to download and no account to create. Just simple video messaging from a webcam for up to 10 minutes.
