Light Darkness Light

Decades after losing your eyesight, a revolutionary trial involving an implanted bionic eye promises you the sight of your granddaughter’s face for the first time ever. Would you take the opportunity? 
After living in darkness for nearly 40 years, Ian Nichols, a blind Anglican priest, becomes one of the first people in the world to receive an experimental bionic eye implant. At the age of 76, Nichols grapples with the profound change, as the groundbreaking scientific advancement offers hope alongside perplexing technical limitations. Audiences see what Nichols sees, as director Landon Van Soest presents impressionistic visualisations of Nichols’ enhanced sight, inviting questions about the nature of our perception.

The film will be introduced by an expert.
