On Sep 24, 2025, the Deaf Santa Claus documentary screened at Cinema Salem in Theatrical, bringing the foundation’s mission of inclusive holiday traditions to another community.
About the event
Deaf Santa Claus
With an uncanny resemblance to the icon himself, Charles Graves chases his dream of becoming a professional Deaf Santa Claus. Filmmakers chronicle Charles and his family as he attends Santa school and enlists the support of others in an attempt to better provide for his loved ones.
Directed by Ben Shelton and Anthony Mowl, the film offers unique perspectives on navigating Deaf and hearing worlds in a story about family, fatherhood, and creating new traditions.
Special Guests: Charles and Kari Graves. Q&A with co-director Anthony Mowl immediately after the show.
Accessibility: This screening will feature Open Captions. ASL interpreters will be available for the Q&A.
