Notes on Blindness(2016)

DIR. PETER MIDDLETON & JAMES SPINNEY
90 MIN

Based on the audio diaries of theologian John Hull, who lost his sight in 1983 and recorded tapes documenting the phenomenological experience of learning to be blind. The film recreates these recordings with actors and extraordinary sound design, rendering the interior experience of blindness rather than an exterior view of it. Won multiple awards at Sundance and BAFTA. Companion interactive documentary also available. One of the most formally inventive and humanistically honest films about disability experience ever made.
