| Summary |
A ***New York Times* Critics' Pick**, NOTES ON BLINDNESS is a poetic account of loss, rebirth and renewal, and the discovery of 'a world beyond sight.' In 1983, after decades of steady deterioration, renowned professor and writer John Hull became totally blind. To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. Over three years he recorded over sixteen hours of material, a unique testimony of loss, rebirth and renewal, excavating the interior world of blindness. Drawing on Hull's original recordings, NOTES ON BLINDNESS premiered at the **Sundance Film Festival** 2016 and won the Special Jury Prize at **San Francisco International Film Festival**. It is an ambitious and groundbreaking work, both affecting and innovative - and one of the most essential British documentaries of the year. |
