Seeing in the dark examines the sensory experience of being blind, with a focus on being blind as a strength: how you can perceive more as a blind person and how the other senses become even more important when your sight is lost. The documentary tells the story of four powerful, blind characters: the couple Yany and Tinah and the sisters Sandra and Marjoke. Yany and Tinah have built their own exhibition, ’Seeing in the dark’, in which sighted people can experience what it is like to use your non-visual senses. Sisters Sandra and Marjoke grew up in a completely blind family. The only exception was Sandra, who could see. These unique stories are bundled in the documentary and show how limitations in life can be turned into positivity. A lesson about decisiveness and optimism, an ode to the other senses and an investigation into the blind world: to learn to see in the dark as a sighted person.

"I have this theory, in fact, that in my colors I am aiming for contrast.
And I think a lot of painters are afraid of the contrast, it's actually harder to work with it, it's not for free, when you learn to work with a more muted color palette, then it's fine, there's not much to spoil."
In the video portrait of Julius Reichel, this contemporary painter will show you his mind maps, which are behind his creative work process. Thanks to Julius for visiting and Stefan Grandjean for the music in the video.
