No, The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell, has not been turned into a silent movie. Though, having said that, it could work as one.
I was aware this news was coming but Fabien let the cat out of the bag a little earlier than expected. It’s festival week on KM UK!
In this case ‘speechless’ refers to the Speechless Film Festival, which is held in the city of Mankato, Minnesota. Mankato is around 70 miles (115km) south of Minneapolis. One of its claims-to-fame is featuring in the TV series Little House On The Prairie as a nearby trading town.
The remark above about The Coin possibly working as a silent film is not a throw-away one. The focus of the Speechless Film Festival is communication via the visual medium of film, regardless of the language used in any dialogue. Fabien’s strong imagery should serve his short film well.
This, the 3rd annual SFF, is scheduled to take place over two days in the latter half of March. More details as we get them.
Information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
