Three people sit on rocks at a beach together, talking to each other in sign language

The Way We Talk

Duration: 1h40m
Dates: Fri 18 - Thu 24 Jul 2025

All of our screenings will feature English language descriptive subtitles.

Known for his popular films on youth culture, Adam Wong Sau-Ping brings us close to the lives of three Deaf twenty-somethings finding their feet. We learn from each distinct perspective about the nuances of ‘Deaf identity’, while the film also interrogates societal norms and reimagines possible alternative linguistic identities. Based on long-term research and utilising a collaborative approach, Wong Sau-Ping’s sixth feature is a moving portrait of friendship and belonging.
