Chapter MovieMaker at Deaf Gathering Cymru: we want your short films!

  • Published:

We’re looking for deaf filmmakers to share their work with our audience in a safe and supported environment.

MovieMaker is Chapter's monthly showcase of short films and conversations with the creatives behind them. For Deaf Gathering Cymru this September, we’re looking for deaf filmmakers to share their work with our audience in a safe and supported environment.

All genres and experience levels are welcome, and ideally submissions should be under 15 minutes long (but we’ll also consider slightly longer). It's free to submit a film, and we’ll host post-screening discussions to offer you a chance to share your thoughts with the audience.

BSL interpretation is available for the event, and we’ll check in to see if you have any additional access needs.

Please send your films, and any questions you may have, to moviemaker@chapter.org. Submissions should be received by Monday 5 August.

Deaf Gathering Cymru is a deaf-led festival in Cardiff led by Chapter Arts Centre, deaf artist and creative consultant Jonny Cotsen, along with deaf access consultant Heather Williams. Open to everyone, the four-day celebration builds on the success of last year’s Deaf Together and offers a dynamic programme of culture and conversation with deaf perspectives at the centre.
