DESCRIPTION:
Telephone is an activist screendance documentary celebrating emotionally rich, poetic audio description for dance, which allows blind and visually impaired people to be included fully in the joy of artistic expression.
The first of its kind, Telephone was created specifically with a visually impaired audience in mind, while facilitating an immersive sensory experience for audience members of all sight levels. Featuring diverse disabled and non-disabled artists from across the globe, the film demystifies and legitimizes audio description, not just as an access tool, but as a beautiful, rich art form in its own right.
Join us at the Los Gatos Library, in partnership with New Museum Los Gatos, to experience the forty-five-minute film, followed by a talkback with the co-directors, Los Gatos-based choreographer/filmmaker Heather Shaw and Dark Room Ballet Founder Krishna Wasburn (Krishna will join the event virtually).

The film includes audio description, American Sign Language, and open captions. ASL Interpretation will also be included in the Q&A portion of the event.
This screening of Telephone Film has been made possible by a grant from the Town of Los Gatos.
