Product Description
1994 Bombay International Documentary Film Festival – Best Non-Fiction Film.
1993 San Francisco International Film Festival - Golden Gate winner.
1992 Entrevues Film Festival – Grand Prix French Film.
The films and methods of Nicolas Philibert, maker of Etre et avoir, have shown him to be one of contemporary cinema’s most acclaimed documentarists. In The Land of the Deaf is an elegantly spare and thoughtful portrait of the rich, diverse, but often isolated culture of the deaf community. Each frame is imbued with a profoundly human compassion and he achieves remarkable intimacy with his subjects as they go about their daily lives. In The Land of the Deaf has tremendous power and value: it educates and transports us, in a very pleasurable way, to another way of occupying this world, and it does so in an unrushed, intelligent fashion.

A wonderful film. I loved Etre et avoir and bought this on a friends recommendation. It is similar to the later film in feel. It is an unobtrusive look at the deaf in France. The director really does have a way of putting you right in with these people and into their world. It's some kind of magic they way you engage with them straight away (which is really weird when you consider that I don't speak French and can't sign). Like in Etre et Avoir the teacher is an inspiration and Florent is the cutest kid ever.
