Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness

This year's One World features this interactive documentary alongside the eponymous feature-length film. The audio records of author John Hull, who went blind, were used in the 1990s for scientific purposes, mainly in the field of neurology. They also continue to present the internal feelings, expectations and experiences of one who has lost their sight. Thanks to the black glasses of virtual reality, viewers can experience what he went through for themselves. Silhouettes gradually appear in the darkness, helped by both expressive and seemingly unobtrusive sounds and audio effects. Moving points of light help to define them, initiating a magical game with the unexpected perceptions. (One World)
