About Voices of Ability (Disability Pride Month)

Voices of Ability (Disability Pride Month)

The Portland Film Festival's Indie Film Series is proud to present two films centering the voices of those with disabilities: Faye: An Interlude, a short film that follows Faye, a deaf dancer, and feature film Sign the Show, a documentary highlighting accessibility for the deaf community at live events.

About the films:

Short: Faye: An Interlude • Director: Cristian Paluso-Serrano
A deaf dancer reconnects with an old flame in this emotionally fueled silent film.

Feature film: Sign the Show: Deaf Culture, Access & Entertainment • Director: Cat Brewer
Sign the Show: Deaf Culture, Access & Entertainment brings together entertainers, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HOH) community, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters to discuss accessibility at live performances in a humorous, heartfelt, and insightful way.
