Notes on Blindness

In 1983, after decades of steady deterioration, writer and theologian John Hull became totally blind. To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began documenting his experiences on audio-cassette. Following the Emmy Award-winning short film of the same name, Notes on Blindness takes a creative approach to the documentary form. Actors lip-sync to the voices of the family, embedding John’s original audio recordings within compelling cinematography and textured sound design. The result is a poetic and intimate story of loss, rebirth and transformation, documenting John’s extraordinary journey into a world beyond sight.”
