Directed by Rodney Evans • 2019 • Canada, Germany, United States
Rodney Evans’s deeply personal documentary explores how his own partial loss of vision may impact his creative future and what it means to be a blind or visually impaired artist. It’s a celebration of the possibilities of art, as created by a Manhattan photographer (John Dugdale), a Bronx-based dancer (Kayla Hamilton), a Canadian writer (Ryan Knighton), and the filmmaker himself, each of whom works in the face of varying degrees of visual impairment. Interweaving interviews with observational footage of the artists at work, Evans creates a profound meditation on sight and inner vision, a richly sensorial work that opens our minds to a new understanding of the creative process.
