An entry in the New Frontier program at Sundance 2016, Notes on Blindness began in 2013 as a four-minute short from writer/directors Pete Middleton and James Spinney. The film attempted to capture the sensory experience of blindness through the audio diary of John Hull, a writer and theologian who had lost his sight. The following year, Middleton and Spinney adapted Notes on Blindness into a longer New York Times Op-Doc. Now, they have adapted this story to a feature length. Below, Notes on Blindness Dp Gerry Floyd speaks to how he and the directors sought to offer a “sensory insight” into blindness. Filmmaker: How and […]...

Notes on Blindness is the kind of documentary that aims to be formally distinct — something I wish was standard for the art. The film does more than simply tell an interesting true story which the filmmakers stumbled upon. It uses that story as a jumping-off point to explore actual ideas — in this case, dealing with the loss of a sense, and how the experience of lacking this sense can be expressed cinematically.
When English theologian John Hull began losing his sight in middle age, he started narrating his life via tape recorder. Writers-directors Peter Middleton and James Spinney have edited these diaries, as well as interviews with Hull and his wife Marilyn, into an autobiography of sorts. (They initially created a short film, now been expanded into this feature.) In a manner similar to that of Clio Barnard’s masterpiece The Arbor, the audio is illustrated via extensive reenactment, with actors lip-synching the original dialogue.
