Coffee Conversations is a Canadian short film about communication, connection, and understanding between Deaf and hearing people. The story follows Rachel, a Deaf woman, and Dov, a hearing man, who meet at a coffee shop. Despite their different ways of communicating, they begin to discover a connection that goes beyond spoken words. The film explores how people can build relationships, overcome communication barriers, and find common ground through patience, respect, and understanding.
A Community Potluck
We know that art and food bring people together like nothing else. Join us for a potluck! Bring a dish* to share if you can. We'll take care of the plates, utensils, and drinks (coffee, tea, and water). To cut down on waste, please bring your own reusable cups and bottles. Come and let’s break bread together. Join us for a night of socializing, sharing ideas, eating, drinking, and being merry! Families with small children are also welcome.
