Klingons at Cannes
From
BoingBoing comes this link to a Klingon documentary being shown at Cannes.
As reported by
BBC:
bq. Titled Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water, the documentary captures the lives, passions and quirks of members of the Klingon Language Institute during their annual qep'a (or conference, for you non-Klingon speakers).
bq. KLI members featured in the film include Dr d'Armond Speers, a linguist who spoke only in Klingon to his son until age three and a half, and Rich Yampbell, composer of Klingon national anthem taHaj wo.
bq. Shot in a "science fiction-like" style by Director Alexandre O Phillipppe, the documentary aims to show the interplay between culture and language, communication and emotion, and the rather delicate line between reality and fiction.
Heh...
