Seeing Voices

Seeing Voices accompanies members of the Viennese deaf community in their everyday lives | Focusing on the acquisition of, and struggle for recognition and establishment of their native language, which becomes visually tangible in the film as a form of communication functioning via bodies, gazes, and rhythm. With sensitivity and empathy, Dariusz Kowalski stages a film about the connection of identity and language, the right to equal opportunity, and the due appreciation of sign language.
