In Your Eyes

director: Pietro Albino Di Pasquale

original title: Nei Tuoi Occhi

country: Italy

year: 2014

running time: 78 min.

synopsis

This Italian documentary on the daily lives of five visually impaired people is also an experiment based on an analogy between the movie camera and the human eye. The filmmakers have tried to use film technology to show audiences how people suffering from visual impairments see their surroundings. All of the film’s footage is strongly out of focus in order to show how visually impaired individuals see objects around them.

DETAIL:
“I see it as something restricted to a problem with my eyes. I am partially sighted and I could turn blind by just bringing a child into the world. I could turn blind by simply breastfeeding.”

biography

The director previously worked as a screenwriter, collaborating on scripts for the documentary films Diario di un curato di montagna (Stefano Saverioni, 2009), Basilio D’Amico (Marco Chiarini, Gianfranco Spitilli, 2009) and Tra uomini e santi.
