FOR THE MOON
Price: $395.00 Code: 2742 |
Directed by Eric Baudelaire
2026, 88 minutes
The film is a collaborative work created with five visually impaired students at the National Institute for the Young Blind in Paris.
Shot at the institute, For the Moon moves between observational cinema and collective invention, questioning the very notion of the gaze and the construction of images when our perception of the world relies on senses other than sight. Created in collaboration with Mei Jendoubi, Jade Ebara Ossebi, Iris Fontanella, Crystal Lau Chang, and Kadiatou Diakite, the film gradually unfolds an expanded experience of perception and redefines the idea of the visible through those who do not "see," yet teach us how to see anew.
Beginning with the observational qualities of a documentary, For the Moon gradually moves toward a more imaginative and collective space, challenging conventional ideas of representation and authorship. Through its collaborative process, the film asks what it means to make visible what cannot be seen, opening up new possibilities for cinema and perception.
