See Hear Signing Stars (BBC Two Wednesday 18 January 2023)
Today Wednesday 18 January 2023, there is a new episode of See Hear.
Signing Stars Through the use of archival material, Julian Peedle-Calloo takes us on a trip through time, illuminating the development of deaf portrayal in cinema.
He looks at how the deaf community was involved in the early days of cinema, how the silent era was a time of equality for the deaf community, how things went downhill after the introduction of “talkies,” how things have improved since the 1960s, and how the deaf community has exploded with talent in the 21st century.
With the use of interviews with the agents/consultants Deaf Talent Collective, the actress Nadia Nadarajah, and the social media star Jazzy Whipps, Julian also investigates the experiences of deaf British talent in the contemporary film industry.
