"A QUIET LOVE" (12A)(2025)
Dir. by Garry Keane

Extremely proud to be launching FMFF26 with this moving, groundbreaking documentary that follows three deaf couples, each navigating love, family, & life’s extraordinary challenges. Told in a mixture of Irish & British Sign Language, with open captions, the film offers a rare, intimate glimpse into experiences often unseen.

It is Ireland’s first feature film in Irish Sign Language, produced by a Deaf and hearing team for Curious North Productions & directed by award-winning filmmaker Garry Keane.

John & Agnes ( from The Silent Valley area ) , a long-married, mixed-religion couple, reflect on life together & the realities of living through the Troubles. Michelle & Kathy share their journey as a same-sex couple, from IVF to raising both hearing and deaf daughters. Deaf boxer Seán and his hearing partner Deyanna face a profoundly difficult choice, revealing the pressures and joys of their intertwined lives.

Following the screening, audiences are invited to join a guest Q+A with John & Agnes, who we are thrilled to have joining us. The Q+A will include BSL interpretation, with thanks to Screen Ireland and Coimisiún na Meán for access support, offering a unique opportunity to hear directly from the couple behind this remarkable story.

Ultimately, A QUIET LOVE celebrates resilience, belonging, and love in all its forms. A charming, deeply humane work, that we are so proud to be launching our Fest with 🥰📽
