Slamdance: Signs and Gestures

Florist Clara (Grace Whitford) is excited about her first date with Simon (Craig McCulloch), a man she’s been chatting with on a dating app. Clara hasn’t told Simon yet that she’s blind, hoping that a blind date would be a good time to reveal this. But when Clara arrives for the date it turns out that he’s deaf but she mistakes his lack of communication with a rebuff. 

Directed by Itandehui Jansen, Signs and Gestures is a sweet romantic comedy about how connection can transcend disability.
