“Through a simple exercise and allowing children to really try, to fail, and star, Blind Cinema is a sensitive and gentle connection with a developing mind.” - Hannah Sullivan, Total Theatre (UK)

Film, Performance | NY Premiere
Co-presented with School of Visual Arts
In partnership with East Village Community School

In the darkness of a cinema space, you sit blindfolded. A child seated behind describes, in hushed and fragile tones, a film that only they will see and only this once. Based on the method of audio description, Blind Cinema is an experience where the act of watching a film becomes a shared investment: a collaborative and imaginative act between seeing children and blindfolded adults. Focusing on that which lies beyond the sense of sight, your attention flickers between the internal world of the mind’s eye shaped by a whispering voice, and the physical space of a darkened cinema shared by many.

Through Blind Cinema, Britt Hatzius examines ideas around language and interpretation along with the potential for discrepancies, ruptures, and (mis)communication.
