Are you a deaf young adult (anyone older than high school age)? You are invited to get together every Tuesday evening at 7:00 at Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf, 1307 Newton Street, Austin - across the street from Texas School for the Deaf. What will we do?

We will always have yummy shacks, though! Everyone is welcome to attend. Information: Pastor Mark MarkJLCD@AOL.com

8th Annual Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival October 20, 22, 23 (Deaf night on 23rd) Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar

[Check http://ctdfilmfest.org/schedule.html for latest schedule.]

This year, the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities (CTD), 8th Annual Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival is dedicating an evening to the community of people with deafness: Sunday Oct. 23 at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. We'll screen finalists in our Short Film Competition and two features: Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye. and the documentary Sound and Fury. We'd love to have a strong presence of the deaf community.

At the Drafthouse, it works like this: you go online (link below) and buy a $10 voucher, that gets you in the theater and is then redeemable for $10 of food and drink from the excellent menu. So admission is essentially free!

Youâ€™re invited! Outstanding cinema and more is scheduled for the 8th Annual Cinema Touching Disability Film on Oct 20, 22 and 23. Yes, it is free admission.

Cinema Touching Disabilityâ€™s opening reception will be Thursday, October 20, at the Goodwill Community Center, followed by Mon Ami Claude, a past Grand Prize Short Film Competition winner and Eyes In the Night (1942) a rarely seen, entertaining mystery featuring heroic turns from a blind detective and his assistance dog.

Then, Saturday and Sunday, the festival moves to the Alamo DraftHouse South Lamar. Each night, view screenings of the popular Short Film Competition finalists, vote for your favorite, and find out which ones won prizes from the jury panel.

Also on Saturday, see the award-winning documentary Monica and David, which explores the unique marriage of two adults with Down Syndrome. Then, watch an exclusive CTD video interview with the stars of the film. Plus youâ€™ll hear selected readings from the winners of CTDâ€™s Pen2Paper creative writing competition.

Sunday features begin with an episode of Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye. A deaf actress portrays the real life role of a deaf FBI agent with extraordinary lip reading skills. The creator of Sue Thomas will answer questions in a live Skype interview. The fest will close with the Academy Award nominated documentary Sound and Fury which poses the controversial question: If you could make your deaf child hear, would you?

Of course, there will be unannounced and unique pieces of disability cinema each evening.

Buy a $10 voucher for Saturday and Sunday night and redeem it for $10 off food and drink from the Alamo menu. Links to the vouchers and reservation information for Thursday at Goodwill are at http://ctdfilmfest.org/. Contact William Greer or Dennis Borel 512.478.3366 for more information.

The Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival benefits the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Children from the greater Austin community whose families have an interest in them acquiring ASL and English are also welcome. They will be hiring teachers soon and hope to hire Deaf staff, and they are looking for a space in South-Central Austin.

INGELORE film
Thursday, May 5, 7pm
Texas School for the Deaf Auditorium, 1102 S Congress Ave, Austin TX

Free and open to the community.

Ingelore Herz Honigstein was born in Kuppenheim, Germany in 1924. Deaf and Jewish, she was considered a double outcast. Embarrassed by her disability, Ingelore's parents made no attempts to communicate with her, resulting in delayed speech, completing her first sentence at age 12. She entered first grade at age 13, but her education was cut short by Kristallnacht, after which Ingelore was thrown out of school.

This film chronicles Ingelore's trials and tribulations in Nazi-controlled Germany and her escape to America. Her story includes a brutal rape by Nazi cadets, a kind New York doctor who performs an illegal abortion in 1940, and her lessons of personal freedom.

Does Demanding An Interpreter Work?
Mon, February 28, 6pm â€“ 8pm Austin Public Library â€“ Ruiz Branch â€“ Meeting room #A 1600 Grove Blvd. Austin, TX 78741 (on Bus routes: 4 | 20 | 331 | 350)

Free Event for People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Do you believe that DEMANDING an interpreter (or other accommodation) for an appointment works?
Do you believe that the service providers are REQUIRED to pay for an accommodation, i.e., the interpreting service because the ADA says so?
Do you believe that ALL service providers/entities are aware of their responsibility to accommodate you to ensure effective communication or communication access?

If you answer "Yes" to at least one of the above questions, come to my workshop to find out and to have fun learning. The workshop would empower you to learn how to request an accommodation, i.e., interpreter or CART, effectively while maintaining a healthy relationship with a service provider or entity.

Light refreshments will also be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Need CART or sign-to-voice interpreter? Contact Brian Determan, by Tuesday, February 22, 2011 512-410-1786 (VP/Voice) 512-514-6385 (TTY) Email: deafnessRS7a@dars.state.tx.us

Structure of ASL -- A workshop presented by Dr Byron Bridges Sat, January 22, 2011, 9am â€“ 4pm Austin Deaf Club, 8818 Cullen Ln, Austin TX 78764

Understanding the structure of ASL is a tool every interpreter, teacher and student must have in their bag of tricks. Many interpreters and teachers use sign language, but they donâ€™t know where to find nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs in ASL. Why can the sign DEAF go either way? How does ASL Syntax work? Whatâ€™s the difference between numbers and numerical incorporation? In this workshop we will be studying phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and semantics in ASL. This workshop will help everyone fully understand whatâ€™s â€œinsideâ€ ASL.

Come join us and begin to understand why you sign the way you do.

Cost: (no refunds)

Janet Morrow exhibit at Access Gallery opening reception Saturday, January 22, 2011. 6-8pm
3701 Guadalupe, Suite 103 (corner of 37th and Guadalupe), Austin TX

VSA Texas Presents an Installation at Access Gallery A Community of Non-Normative Beings

January 17 â€“ February 25, 2011

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 22, 2011 6:00-8:00 pm

Janet Morrow is an MFA candidate from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, most recently at the Smithsonian International Gallery with VSA. After losing her ability to hear, Janet received bilateral cochlear implants (CI) and has regained some hearing with her implants. Morrowâ€™s newest installation is based on how her implants translate sounds she hasnâ€™t heard before and themes of â€œothernessâ€ and disability. A Community of Non-Normative Beings uses transparent materials to form abstracted structures, which are inflated to create sculptural bodies that float and shimmer in the gallery. Accompanied by industrial interiors and a â€œCI Sonatinaâ€, Morrowâ€™s art transcends human frailty, and identifies the joy that may be found in even painful situations.
