The Unseen Trailers

At a blind school in the Czech Republic, the children exuberantly show off their remarkable talents – as musicians, as radio announcers, as daredevil bike riders and, most extraordinary of all, as photographers. Why take pictures of a world you can’t see? To capture memories, of course, that sighted people can describe back to them. Miroslav Janek’s documentary is a true eye-opener about the resilience, adaptability and creativity of children, faced with whatever challenge the world throws at them.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Unseen combines observational shooting with an expressionist editing style to mesmerising effect. Without any tiresome "facts" or omniscient voice over we are left to learn so much about these blind children; from Janeks observations with his camera and on the children's sometimes surreal monologues. We learn ultimately that these children are unaware of any "disability" we might label them with, instead they concentrate on doing and living and learning. We see them riding bikes and running, playing instruments (wonderfully) and singing, full of life, fully of their future. I felt humbled watching them, I don't have half their ability. Wonderful.
