The author considers a trio of films of recent vintage in which the primary narrator is sight impaired and consider the role memory and recollection play in the telling of their accounts. Each film – Notes on Blindness, Blue, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – are biographical and depicted in documentary or hybrid/stylised documentary format. Common threads and themes unite the seemingly disparate characters and these focus on water and waiting. How a ‘sightless’ scene is recreated for film is at the heart of this article.
