Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Film & TV › Features Film Reviews TV Reviews Festivals Oscar Shorts 2018: The Silent Child Maddie Scarlett tackles the story of a young deaf girl in this quiet but impressive short Tuesday 9 January 2018 With cinema’s most-hyped awards show creeping up on us, Nouse turns its attention to an oft-ignored Academy Award: Best Live-Action Short Film. With access to several of the 10 films that have made the Oscars shortlist, our team will be tackling them in a series of interviews and reviews. From thrillers with timely racial commentary to dance dramas, there is plenty of wonderful work to see on the shortlist. The final five nominees will be announced on 23rd January. Image: Slick Films/Slick Showreels Director: Chris Overton Starring: Rachel Shenton, Maisie Sly, Rachel Fielding The Silent Child is an unassuming film with an important message. The story follows young and deaf Libby as she learns how to communicate through sign language with her social worker Joanne. In a beautiful country house in the English countryside, the nuclear family gets on with their daily lives, unaware and oblivious to the struggles Libby faces. Joanne is hired to prepare Libby for starting school and recommends teaching a mix of sign language and lip reading. Libby’s mother (Suzanne), who is confident Libby can do fine with just lip reading, begins to realise that her daughter is learning and using a language that she and the rest of the family cannot understand.
