Lovely sharing opinions with Gavin Sunderland in #DCAC following #AHouseofDynamite, @Wshed.bsky.social. Thrilling, unexpected journey before the time running out, 3 different chaotic scenarios took place, with more close-up shots of brass choosing their decisions and fate! Success or failure?!

Great turnouts #DCAC @Wshed.bsky.social after watching ‘Deaf’ #Sorda with @hardiewrites. Interesting themes - relationship, family across generation, social norms and most importantly the role of language reflecting the reality of deaf lives within a ‘perfect’ world. Beautifully executed shootings!

Another interesting discussion throughout the evening #DCAC @Wshed.bsky.social, after watching #HotMilk. The film threw us at the bay to think about the theme/contents - independent, trauma, hardworking care but decent & envy relationship. Thanks to Sarah MacGregor for sharing details with us!
