The Eyes of Me PicturePlease join us for a screening of local filmmaker Keith Maitland's documentary film. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and cast. A live audio description will be provided. There will be popcorn too. The screening is free and open to the public.
The Eyes of Me presents an extraordinary look at four blind teenagers. The parallel stories of two freshmen and two seniors unfold over the course of one dynamic year at the Texas School for the Blind in Austin. Distilled from over 250 hours of footage, this experiential documentary captures a textured portrait of its characters’ lives. Director Keith Maitland worked closely with the film’s subjects to produce sequences of stylized rotoscopic animation to complement the film’s observational aesthetic. The stories of the film’s central characters offer a fresh perspective on growing up, fitting in, and preparing for the future. Forced to confront the world without sight, they share their thoughts, their perceptions, their inner-visions of the outer world. Ultimately, you cannot understand their perceptions without challenging your own.
Lights.Camera.Austin. features locally made independent films on the first Tuesday of each month at the Windsor Park Branch of the Austin Public Library.
