Slow

When dancer Elena meets sign language interpreter Dovydas their instant connection bodes well for a romantic relationship. But when Doyvdas reveals he’s asexual, their dynamic changes as both try to find a way to be together while fulfilling their respective needs. This Sundance award-winner is a modern love story about two people exploring how to build their own kind of intimacy.

Slow will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Anne Louise Kershaw (Instigate Arts CIC), in partnership with Reclaim the Frame.
