Director: James Spinney and Peter Middleton
Production: Archer’s Mark
Cinematographer: Gerry Floyd
Production design: Damien Creagh

The feature-length documentary Notes on Blindness was presented as part of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival New Frontier 10th anniversary programme alongside its sister project, the VR experience Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness.

In the summer of 1983, just days before the birth of his first son, writer and theologian John Hull went blind. In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. Upon their publication in 1990, Oliver Sacks described the work as ‘the most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is to my mind a masterpiece.’ With exclusive access to these original recordings, NOTES ON BLINDNESS encompasses dreams, memory and imaginative life, excavating the interior world of blindness.
