Deaf Film Festival 2025

Lights, camera, action! Deaf Film Festival (DFF) is coming to Austin to showcase short films and documentaries created by Deaf filmmakers, highlighting sign language, Deaf culture, and the power of authentic storytelling on screen.

Organized by The Zankza Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting Deaf artists and creatives, this new festival is more than a film showcase, it’s a celebration of Deaf artistry and vision.

What to Expect:

• 🎥 Screenings of original films and documentaries by Deaf filmmakers
• 🤝 Networking opportunities with artists, filmmakers, and community members
• 🎉 Post-festival gatherings, including an afterparty and brunch
• 🌟 A space to uplift Deaf talent and creative expression
