The films include documentaries and motion pictures, which were made by
people with hearing impairment.

The ten documentaries and two films are the result of the Filmmaking
Project for Deaf People. The project was launched by filmmaker Đỗ Thị Hiền,
a new graduate, and her friend.

The four-month project was implemented from December, 2015, to March 2016.

In the first two months of the project, 12 selected hearing impaired people
were trained in filmmaking. Then they produced their own films in the
following two months.

express themselves,” Hiền said.
