A Quiet Love
World Premier in Auckland
We’re delighted to share the exciting news that the Irish documentary A Quiet Love will have its World Premiere at this year’s Doc Edge Festival in Auckland on 4th July, with further screenings in Wellington and Christchurch.
A Quiet Love is an intimate and moving film that follows three Deaf couple as they share their extraordinary love stories, through sign language: a decades-long forbidden romance across a religious divide, an LGBTQI+ couple navigating parenthood with Deaf and hearing children, and a Deaf boxer and his hearing partner facing a life-altering choice. A cinematic celebration of resilience, connection, and enduring love; featuring an immersive soundscape, A Quiet Love offers a beautiful insight into the world of Irish Deaf people. It is Ireland’s first feature film in Irish Sign Language, produced by a Deaf and hearing team and directed by award-winning filmmaker Garry Keane (In the Shadow of Beirut).
As this is an Irish story rooted in love, identity, and connection, we would love if members of the Irish community in Aotearoa would come along to support this film and celebrate the love stories of a community that are rarely represented on screen.
