Notes on Blindness

Notes on Blindness is a 2016 British documentary film directed by Peter

Notes on Blindness
Middleton and James Spinney. The film profiles writer and theologian John
M. Hull, who became totally blind after decades of steadily deteriorating
vision. To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, Hull began
documenting his experiences on audio cassette and wrote his autobiography
Touching the Rock: An Experience of Blindness in 1990.[1]

The film won the British Independent Film Award for Best Documentary and
received nominations for Best Director, Breakthrough Producer, Best
Achievement in Craft (Joakim Sundström for sound) and the Douglas Hickox
Award.[2] At the 70th British Academy Film Awards, the film was nominated
for Best British Film, Best Documentary and Outstanding Debut by a British
Writer, Director or Producer.[3] It was pitched at Sheffield Doc/Fest's 2012
MeetMarket.

Dan Renton Skinner and Simone Kirby depict John Hull and Marilyn Hull
respectively in the film.
