DeafMovie.org has created a new resource called Deaf Movie Database, or DMDb, that allows users to find information about deaf film professionals and movies featuring deaf culture.
DMDb, created by Emilio Insolera, includes a film catalog that provides information on the deaf film workers involved in a given film and notes instances of non-deaf professionals playing deaf characters. Users can also see how much sign language a film contains.
DMDb additionally has a Careers section to enable networking, a reviews feature that highlights deaf critics and includes user participation, film festival information and an educational “Dummies” guide about working with the deaf film community. There is also an option to watch films for free via the database.
