Sign Gene is making waves, and has inspired one Italian linguist to declare it "the symbol of activism for the visual community."

Originally starting out as a short film, it garnered such a groundswell of interest with people offering to become involved, that Insolera, upon realizing it had the legs for a shot at the big time, had to rewrite the script into a feature-length.

The casting came by way of word of mouth: Insolera was especially looking for native signers fluent in Sign language.

As the story unravels, many of the film's characters even turn out to be blessed with arcane powers - like those, when signing the word 'close', of being able to make doors close at will; or where, when signing the word 'weapon', hands actually metamorphose into bona fide weapons, replete with spewing fire and all sorts.

With Sign Gene the world is now firmly seen through the eyes of the deaf , affording a view of how their world really is. And for this director it is assuredly no a world of victims, but of people empowered by their own personal situations.

A bit intricate but very fascinating. The sounds create an unexpected important part, sometimes overwhelming who is watching. All happens very fast and astonishes you with a vibrant energy.

Rapid and psychedelic language of video games or Japanese manga.

This movie has the potentials to polarize the audience like few before. Obviously there are people who like it and people who don't like it but the challenge in 'Sign Gene' is that it goes to the extremes by exciting it with a continue presentation of unfamiliar topics such as deaf history, culture while speaking in languages unknown to most people and introduces a psychedelic narration into mainstream culture leaving behind those who cannot follow it so negative responses based on ignorance might come out.

It's hard to describe how good this movie is but it really is that good. I thoroughly enjoyed this film very much. One of the very few films that shows the real spirit of the very low budget indie cinema, only $25k, and sticks closely to the deaf cores' values behind and on the screen. As a film lover, I regard 'Sign Gene' as one of my favorites.

The content is incredibly rich and presents several references to deaf culture, deaf history and sign language linguistics. The narrative approach is unusual, it presents a whole new way of editing the film. It got several quickly intercutting images typical of the post-modern era of speed. A real cult film made by a real cinephile.

The film explores important concepts of communication. The vintage clips reflect an accumulation of filters that hinder the passage of information from the sender to the recipient and vice versa. The accelerated pace of editing indicates the rapid rhythm of the brain's executive function during the cross-linguistic communicative interaction. Symbolic messages are well expressed in the film! Congrats!

Never seen a film with more than three signed languages, American Sign Language, Japanese Sign Language, Italian Sign Language and three spoken languages, English, Japanese and Italian, all well combined to each other. Definitely a real challenge for the creators of the film yet they made it. All actors were authentic with their own language unlike many other films. We enjoyed watching the film, definitely inspiring for new ideas, amazing work! Joseph.

Never seen such a nasty movie! It lasts 70 min and I resisted to the end for curiosity. There are too many moving and incomprehensible scenes like disco music videos. Only music videos last an average of 5 minutes and there is but the film lasts for 70 minutes and is tiring to die! It has a headache, in fact a couple of people have had headaches. Some scenes remind me of Matrix above all the final part. Discounted plot and nothing new. The only beautiful thing is the history of the lis (the language of the Italian signs). They missed the chance. Sin!
