In the second of ACMI's series of Deaf filmmaking masterclasses, Deaf filmmaker Sofya Gollan talks through the techniques and skills needed to produce resonant and moving Deaf stories on screen.
Discover the intricacies of capturing Deaf narratives on film and gain insight into the distinctive aspects of filmmaking when visual communication takes centre stage.
Multi-disciplinary artist, writer and director Sofya Gollan is an award-winning filmmaker and a graduate from both NIDA and AFTRS. As an actor she has worked with the Sydney Theatre Company, the National Theatre of the Deaf USA and ABC TV drama, but is best loved for being on Play School, normalising Disability before it was recognised as essential representation.
