Three love stories. One shared language.
In this intimate film, three Deaf couples share their remarkable love stories through Irish Sign Language: a decades-long forbidden romance across a religious divide, an LGBTQI+ couple navigating parenthood with Deaf and hearing children, and a Deaf boxer and his hearing partner facing a life-altering choice. A cinematic celebration of resilience, connection, and enduring love; featuring an immersive soundscape, A Quiet Love is Ireland’s first feature film in Irish Sign Language, it is produced by a Deaf and hearing team and directed by award-winning filmmaker Garry Keane (In the Shadow of Beirut).
This session includes an introduction by Deaf director and MPhil candidate Sam Martin (Sign on Screen project).
