As I recall, someone over the summer inquired about films about the deaf. There is a 1992 French film, LE PAYS DES SOURDS/IN THE LAND OF THE DEAF by Nicolas Philibert, which is now available in this country. It's in French and French sign language, with English subtitles. Subjects include veteran sign-language instructor Jean-Claude Poulain and a group of young school children learning to communicate orally. It played weekends thoughout August at The Film Center of the Art Institute of Chicago (I didn't see it--I received my Film Center Calendar for August just two days ago). Anyone interested in tracking down a distributor might try calling the Center's info number: (312) 443-3733. --Richard Richard J.
