Kii Nche Ndutsa dir. Itandehui Jansen (2020)

In February, CinemaAttic focuses on diversity of languages in film. This programme is timed to coincide with the early stages of the UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022 – 2032) and the annual celebration of linguistic diversity, International Mother Language Day (21 February). Building connections between these events, this timely programme offers a selection of special short films that have been screened around the world, including several Scottish premieres. The shorts foreground Scottish Gaelic ("And So It Was"), Dulegaya and Wayuunaiki ("Mu Palaa"), British Sign Languages ("Signs and Gestures"), Mixtec ("Kii Nche Ndutsa"), and Yanomae ("Mãri H" and Thuë pihi kuuwi") and invite us to consider the presence, representation and rights of languages in fostering diverse cinematic cultures.
