"From the director to the international cast, all of them are from deaf families for generations, while the film industry usually entrusts these roles to audacious interpreters that end up being bad imitators of the Sign language."

“The deaf eye sees what is invisible to the hearing eye.”

“You can see the existence of these beautiful signed languages which are incredibly visual, and they require space, they require space to grow.”

“My deafness is my superpower.”

““My first impression was that I had stumbled into the future, but as a linguist I was also instantly fascinated with Japanese and how it has a relationship with sign language.

“Italian language is not just sonore. It is also a visual one.”

“I myself regard the deaf people as superheroes, protectors of the visual language.”
