Deaf Friendly Film Festival: The Red Turtle (La Tortue Rouge)

About this event

“Understands the power of visual storytelling and it never loses our gaze”.  

Described by critics as a ‘quiet little masterpiece’ and a ‘wordless wonder’, The Red Turtle won the Special Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes. It is a dialogue-free fable about a castaway on a desert island, and a touching ode to the cycle of life and the resilience of family. Presented with an elegant simplicity, the sublime visuals pack a real emotional punch.

Dir: Michael Dudok de Wit. Stars: Emmanuel Garijo, Tom Hudson, Baptiste Goy
