Notes on Blindness(2016)

Notes on Blindness is a documentary film that explores one man's journey into darkness following sudden vision loss. In 1983, theologian and academic John Hull began recording audio diaries to process his blindness, capturing raw reflections on grief, adaptation and spiritual transformation. The film weaves Hull's intimate voice recordings with innovative visual techniques to create a portrait of inner life reshaped by sensory deprivation. Rather than focusing on medical struggle, Notes on Blindness examines how loss becomes a gateway to renewed perception and meaning. Expanding on an Emmy-winning short, this feature-length work stands as both a personal testimony and a philosophical meditation on what it means to see beyond sight.
