Sign Hub documentary film "We were there... we are here"
As part of the EU project "The Sign-Hub," a documentary film was made that had its (digital) world premiere at the FEAST conference in Paris in June 2020. Now, the documentary film "We Were There... We Are Here" can also be viewed online with German subtitles. The film is based on interviews and life stories of older deaf people from France, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Turkey.
The interviews were conducted by teams of deaf researchers as part of the European Commission-funded research project "The Sign Hub: Preserving, researching, and promoting the linguistic, historical, and cultural heritage of European sign language communities through an integrated resource" (Horizon 2020).
The interviews with deaf seniors in Germany were conducted by Jens-Michael Cramer as part of the research projects "The Sign Hub" and "(Un)visible Life Stories." The film can be viewed here or on the following website of the Göttingen Sign Language Laboratory:
