‘What Are You Looking At?’
Angela Charles shares the challenges of losing her sight as a visual artist, and her experience of ‘coming out’ to everyone after years of hiding it. Multiple voices weave narration and description: Angela’s iPhone, a philosophising Audio Describer, and her mentor, the artist Bedwyr Williams.
The film explores ideas of seeing, and questions our preconceptions in asking us, What are you looking at?
