NOTES ON BLINDNESS

During the wet and cold days here I have managed to sort stuff out, or use them for reading or creating whilst often berating the fact its raining and miserable outside. Then I found this short film on one of the blogs I follow. This film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won many awards.

The film follows the actual recordings from a tape diary of John Hull, a man who progressively becomes fully blind and records his thoughts and feeling via tape. It really made me value the gift of sight with respect to my love of creativity but also helps me to see into the extreme emotions which are attached to visual memories. I love the style its filmed in too. Definitely worth a watch though as a warning it might bring a tear.
