The Sign on Screen Film Festival will take place at the Australian National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra from Friday May 22 to Sunday May 24, 2026.
A collaboration between the NFSA, Deaf Connect and the Australian National University, the festival will feature films and series in sign languages from all over the world, with a special focus on Deaf-led Australian content in Auslan. All events (including our gala opening, screenings, workshops with Deaf filmmakers and live performances) will be entirely free to the public, in either Auslan or English and fully interpreted. All screenings will include English captions and the Arc Cinema is equipped with a hearing loop.
Stay tuned for the forthcoming programme and ticket bookings and get in touch at gemma.king@anu.edu.au with any questions or proposals.
