"Where" A Documentary on Visually impaired individuals

Hey!

We are a group of four passionate filmmaking students from MetFilm School in London, and we are producing an experimental documentary about visually impaired individuals.

We would like to investigate/discuss the relationship between visually impaired individuals and swimming and how that could link to war. This intrigues us because usually we use vision to see underwater and ensure the direction of swimming.

Logline: Light urges to describe the world around us, but in the darkness, it becomes obscure sounds, touch, smells and feelings. Life goes on, all imaginations and memories are exposed.

Director’s Statement: Usually, visually-impaired individuals use other senses such as hearing and touch to compensate their loss of vision. However, could we use visual materials to portray their hearing and touch? This is going to be an experimental documentary discussing the relationship between visually-impairment, swimming and war. It will

be shot on both digital devices and Super 8 film - to a certain extent, aren’t film grains also a form of braille?
