'DEAR HEARING WORLD'

Vilma is especially proud of the work in 'Dear Hearing World' directed by Adam Docker. This short film is based on Raymond Antrobus' poem by the same name. The film blends Raymond's spoken words with music and Vilma's powerful and thought-provoking performance using British Sign Language set in striking urban London scenes. 

 

This short film has received multiple awards across various categories, including Best Short Film, Best Sound, and others, from several international festivals.

This important piece of work calls out audio supremacy and asks us to acknowledge the deaf protagonists defiant indignation at their treatment by the hearing world. The poem 'Dear Hearing World' is partly inspired by Danes Smith and is from Raymond Antrobus' critically acclaimed poetry collection called 'The Perseverance'.
