Silence, darkness dir. Paweł Kędzierski
camera Wojciech Staroń
This is an amazing documentary from 1999. Its camera follows a group of deaf, mute and blind participants of a sculpting workshop. Due to the mastery of the DP, great sound design and editing we experience creating in its dramatic phases.
The on-screen predicaments of the workshop participants are nothing but hugely amplified elements of any creative process. Selecting as artists people with serious limitations brings home often forgotten fact that making something is mostly a struggle with once own lack of knowing, seeing, hearing, touching.
From a certain point outside of ourselves we must look blind, mute, deaf and yet desperately trying to outguess the reality and then give a voice to our limited discoveries.
This fabulous film can be seen here
