Blind Cinema by Britt Hatzius is an intimate, inventive, and unique perspective on cinema. It took place at Belltable on Sunday 26 September as part of Light Moves Festival 2021.

Based on the method of Audio Description, Blind Cinema makes the experience of watching a film into a shared investment: a collaboration between young people and adults. Focusing on that which lies beyond the sense of sight, your attention flickers between the internal world of the mind’s eye shaped by a whispering voice, and the physical space of a darkened cinema.
