| Video Discription | Signing swear words: the stand-up comic bringing deaf culture to hearing people. A short documentary directed by Natalia Kouneli (http://nataliakouneli.com/) Produced by Grant Keir @Scottishdocinstitute (https://www.scottishdocinstitute.com/) Subscribe to the Aeon Video newsletter: https://bit.ly/2MfCgqO Watch 'Silent Laughs' on Aeon: https://bit.ly/34JUrP0 Watch more free videos on Aeon: https://bit.ly/35DJcpb Follow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2SaTMjt Follow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2MgoDrg Follow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2tDzsNC Wry observations on daily life, sly turns of phrase, and aptly hurled swear words – a lot of what’s in the sets performed by the Greek-born, Edinburgh-based comedian Leah Kalaitzi is standard fare for stand-up comedy. However, as a deaf woman communicating in British Sign Language (BSL) in collaboration with a translator, Kalaitzi employs these tropes to singular effect. Although she often gets big laughs, her act aims to give audiences more than just a good time. Through humour, Kalaitzi endeavours to spread BSL culture, and foster communication between hearing and nonhearing communities. Part of Bridging the Gap, the Scottish Documentary Institute’s ongoing initiative to support emerging filmmakers, Silent Laughs follows Kalaitzi leading up to a showcase set at the Stand, Edinburgh’s premier stand-up comedy venue. #standupcomedy #deaf F167scgSvds |
