I visited the invisible exhibition in Budapest, as I was interested in discovering how is it like to live in the darkness, ofcourse you can switch off the lights and see how you feel, but it will not be as dark as it is for a blind & if you close your eyes, you will always peek.
The experience was intersting and my guide through the darkeness was a very special blind young guy who speaks multiple languages "Gabor" who was born blind.
we exchanged the skype and phone numbers and I began preparing for the film.
I used stop motion graphics for the first part, and I was trying through the film to go inside Gabor's mind and find out how does he imagine life.
I was amazed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The image of the objects in his mind was similar to the one we have although he was born blind and never saw before.

I enjoyed the film so much, I was even deeply touched during editing it, that I was crying.
The film got different feedback positive and negative, but the majority of the instructors thought it was a useless movie, could be classified as educational not a documentary, others told me it is impossible you could know how a blind imagine life, and if I am not a duck I won't be able to understand how a duck feels, I agreed with this for the duck, because the duck doesn't talk or interact with me, but Gabor is a human and he explain his visions, I may not have 100% discovered how he imagine life but I somehow succeeded in getting closer to the image he has in his mind.
Actually I don't care about the classification of the film I just believe it is a film that will make you stop and think for a moment as most of my films. You may also feel a bit scared of losing your eyesight.
