DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Gareth Evans → United States

His documentary work, particularly with blind and disabled communities, and his own lived experience as a blind filmmaker, creates intimate explorations of visual impairment and perception.

Satyajit Ray → India

His film 'Charulata' and other works deeply examine how characters perceive and navigate their worlds, with 'Jana Aranya' including meaningful representation of blindness and social exclusion.

Pedro Almodóvar → Spain

His films 'Speak Low If You Speak Love' and explorations of sensory experience and emotional blindness, particularly in 'Live Flesh,' interrogate how people see and fail to see one another.
