UNSOUND
Dir: Ian Watson 88 min | 2020 | Australia | English, Auslan | Narrative Feature
When gigging guitarist, Noah (Reece Noi), finds himself disillusioned and transient, he quits the band of his 90’s pop icon mentor, returns to his mother’s home in Sydney. Clashing with his mother over old wounds, Noah seeks solace elsewhere, and soon finds himself swept up in the vibrant, passionate life of a young transman, Finn (Yiana Pandelis), a proud, Auslan- only speaker who works and runs a local center and nightclub for his deaf community. Together, the pair traverse new ground, sharing their languages - Noah’s music and Finn’s signs – with one another. But as the two become closer, and with no shared language to fall back on, they only risk hurting each other, as they learn to be true to themselves.
