The Invisible Film: Sister of Mine | WATCH DOCS

Imagine sitting in a movie theater. The trailers end, the lights go down, and silence falls over the audience. The first sounds of the film begin to play through the speakers but the screen remains black. Normally, this is the moment when someone raises a hand, looks for a staff member, and reports a technical problem. After all, cinema is something we are “supposed” to see.

This time, we invite you to shift your perspective and experience a film screening in a way familiar to blind and visually impaired audiences.

Although this event was created primarily for sighted viewers who would like to explore what cinema is like when we reverse the traditional hierarchy of the senses, we also warmly welcome blind and visually impaired participants. The screening is fully accessible to them, and the audio description serves as a fundamental, equal component of the film. We are delighted to create a space where people can share the experience of cinema, regardless of how they perceive it.

About the film:

What do you do when the person closest to you is trying to escape reality?

This intimate and painfully honest film explores addiction, family relationships, and the habits that prevent genuine human connection. The director follows his teenage sister as she struggles to overcome her addiction to psychoactive substances, while carefully examining the crisis affecting the relationships within his family.
