Check out a new film, ‘Shot in the dark’ is an intimate portrait of three successful artists who have one thing in common: visual impairment as a starting point for their visual explorations. Watching ‘Shot in the dark’ will introduce three extraordinary people. These blind artists insist on participating in the world of visuals. At the same time they question this world with their photographic work, in which nothing is taken for granted. This film poses fundamental questions about seeing and the imagination and enriches our understanding of perception and creation. We all close our eyes in sleep, the sighted and blind alike, and in our dreams – we see.
Please note that this film with have an audio description suitable for people with visual impairment.
