Festival 1

Thirteen Sign Language Fairy Tale programs
for children: all with open captions & sound

     Festival 1 is a bright and wonderful half-hour series celebrating visual arts for the deaf, hearing-impaired and hearing children of all ages performed in Sign Language, full sound and with "open" captions requiring no decoding device. The 13 segments have been compiled onto a 3-DVD set of over 6 hours of viewing time.
     Each entertaining half hour is a compilation of vignettes involving pantomime, signed puns, visual story-telling and arts & crafts.
