Ukraine / 2014 / 126 min / colour
Ukrainian Sign Language with English Subtitles
Director: Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy
Cast: Hryhoriy Fesenko, Yana Novikova, Rosa Babiy

Set at a Ukrainian boarding school for the deaf, the film’s narrative unfolds purely through sign language without a need for employing subtitles or voiceover, audience follows the story through the physicality of the performances and the emphatic intensity of the signing. Heightened by a hormone-laced narrative, with kids engaging in explicit sex and violence, THE TRIBE is an unforgettable cinematic experience, from its epic, wordless opening shot to the brutal finale, resulting in a unique, never-before-seen cinematic experience.
