Mute

2011, 15 minutes

What do you do when words fail you?

A silent young woman arrives in Belfast with a backpack, a set of index cards and no money for a bed. A young man, slave to his digital watch, reads alone in the park. Can a written request and an act of faith change their lives? Directed by Conan McIvor and written by Lisa Keogh, Mute explores how a relationship can develop when you take the talk away. It stars Nick Lee and Colette Lennon with a soundtrack featuring local artists Not Squares, Katie and the Carnival, Albrecht's Pencil, and Isobel Anderson.
