Shot circa 1945, this silent home movie records a seaside gathering organised by the Deaf Society of NSW. Children in swim caps splash at the shoreline, then pause to chat in Auslan (Australian Sign Language).
The camera drifts between moments without explanation or polish. At a time when Deaf experiences were rarely documented, the film is a valuable record of everyday social life as it unfolded – shared language, familiarity, time spent together.
