15min

A crossed telephone line propels Receiver into a suite of heated and intimate conversations in which we encounter scenes of protest at a university for D/deaf students, Q&A cross-fire interrogation, vocal confrontations and lip-reading practice.In its various moods the film presents a heady and multi-layered assemblage of Deaf histories, to consider how we both speak and listen, and the question of who has the right and capacity to be heard.
