DocFest Presents: I Didn't See You There (Early Doors) 18
This unflinching first-person journey, seen from the perspective of disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport, highlights how differently the world appears to him.
Davenport sets out to make a film about how he sees the world, and how the world sees him. When a circus marquee appears outside his apartment, Davenport reflects on the corrosive legacy of freak shows and their lingering presence in the lives of disabled people. His perspective reveals the physical barriers, the stares and unsolicited offers of help that punctuate his daily life, but also the striking and often abstract beauty that comes from experiencing the world from the faster speed of his wheelchair.
