This digital short was commissioned for the Bigger Picture project in conjunction with the BBC in Manchester, and shown on a public screen in the centre of the city. The fi lm explores the psycho-geography of the city through the experiences of a local woman who is partially blind. It was fi lmed in Manchester around the location of the public screen. it was created to be displayed on digital cameras and night vision security cameras. The fi lm approaches documentary fi lming making from a unique angle, bringing together live action and animation to portray the city from the perspective of a person that has heightened senses from their lack of vision. The fi lm comments on the issues surrounding disability, our judgement of other people in the city, and our common and shared understanding of public space.
