IFFK pans an inclusive shot with live sign language interpretation
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram|December 18, 2024
FOR the first time, the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) has introduced live sign language interpretation for people with hearing impairment, ensuring a disability-friendly environment for all participants.

The live sign language interpretation is being conducted during events at the Nishagandhi auditorium, where speeches and performances are being made accessible. This initiative marks a significant step in making the film festival a truly inclusive space, attracting participants from across the world.

Silvy Maxi Mena, a teacher at the National Institute of Speech and Hearing (NISH) and a sign language interpreter, volunteered to take up the role without any remuneration. She came up with this idea after learning that this year's festival would be disability-friendly.
