Experience 'Notes on Blindness', directed by Peter Middleton and James Spinney, with an enhanced soundtrack which uses more original narration from John and Marilyn to tell the story, along with extra sound design and music. This version aims to create a rewarding and complete audio experience that tonally coheres with the dramatic universe of the film. In his writing, John Hull always sought to bring blind and sighted people closer together. In building on John’s work, 'Notes on Blindness' aims to be an inclusive and rewarding experience for all audiences. In the early 1980s, after decades of steady deterioration, writer and academic John Hull lost his sight. To help him make sense of the ensuing upheaval in his life, he began to keep an audio diary. Over three years, he collated over 16 hours of material; these recordings would form a unique testimony of loss, rebirth and renewal, excavating the interior world of blindness. Based on these original recordings and his published diaries ‘Touching the Rock’ (1991), 'Notes on Blindness' recreates Hull’s fascinating and deeply moving experiences through an immersive hybrid of documentary, dramatic reconstruction and highly sensory cinematic techniques and sound design. Sensitive, poetic and thought-provoking, the film charts Hull’s journey through emotional turmoil and spiritual crisis to a renewed perception of the world. Premiering at Sundance Film Festival 2016 and winner of the best documentary prize at San Francisco International Film Festival 2016, 'Notes on Blindness' is an ambitious and groundbreaking work - both affecting and innovative - and one of the most essential British documentaries of the year. ★★★★★ “Who knew that a tale of blindness could be so visionary and so beautifully photographed on screen?” – Kate Muir, The Times ★★★★★ “Superb… as educational, entertaining and inspirational as its subject” – Mark Kermode, The Observer ★★★★★ "A beautiful, accessible and thoughtful work of art" - Charlie Phillips, The Guardian ★★★★★ "Remarkable documentary" - Allan Hunter, The List
