Nurith Aviv ventures into the relatively uncharted territory of sign languages. These languages are numerous and diverse, each with its own grammar and syntax, its unique richness and complexity.
Three generations of protagonists, both deaf and hearing, as well as researchers from The Sign Language Research Laboratory at the University of Haifa, talk about the sign languages that have evolved in Israel within the past 100 years.
Nurith Aviv directed 14 documentaries and was the cinematographer on some 100 features and documentaries.
Signing is screened on September 23rd to mark the first International Day of Sign Languages declared by the UN.
