Television for Deaf people has been around for longer than people realise. From Vision On to Sign On, from See Hear to the British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust, it’s had a long and varied history. But what does the future hold? Revisiting shows from TV's past and including many never before seen clips from the 1950s to the present day.
Followed by a discussion and Q&A with a panel of experienced deaf broadcasters including See Hear series producer William Mager, See Hear researcher Erika Jones, Deaf scholar and author Dr Paddy Ladd, Linda Richards of the British Sign Language Broadcasting trust and and Dr Terry Riley of the British Deaf Association.
This screening will be subtitled and feature sign language. The discussion will include live speech to text transcription and a sign language interpreter. All of our cinema auditoria are fitted with induction loop systems.
