Monday, December 9, from 7:00pm - 8:30 pm. Networking begins at 6:30 PM, and the program kicks off at 7:00 PM.SEEING WITHOUT SIGHT by Alyscia CunninghamThe documentary is in the fine cut stage and the filmmaker is seeking constructive feedback to finalize the film.ABOUT THE FILMSEEING WITHOUT SIGHTOne can be tempted to think that, although beauty comes in many forms, and although the people, places or objects that exhibit beauty are of diverse sorts, it can only be sensed visually. What is the perception process that underlies the experience of beauty from the perspective of a woman without the sense of sight? SEEING WITHOUT SIGHT is a documentary film that delves into the lives of girls and women with vision loss, challenging viewers to perceive beauty beyond sight. Through their stories, it aims to redefine societal norms of beauty, inviting a deeper understanding and appreciation.ABOUT WORKS IN PROGRESS SCREENINGSDocs In Progress has workshopped more than 175 documentaries through our signature rough cut Work-in-Progress screenings, where filmmakers share a not-quite finished version of their documentary to a general audience.During the event, a facilitator from Docs In Progress leads a workshop-style feedback session where the audience provides constructive feedback on story progression, story structure, character/topic development of these not-quite finished documentaries. This can be essential to help filmmakers move forward with their creative process toward finalizing the film.While we welcome and treasure feedback from other filmmakers or topic experts at these screenings, we are equally interested in hearing from laypeople since most filmmakers are making films for a general audience.LOCATION: Docs In Progress8560 2nd Ave Suite 113, Silver Spring, MD 20910Docs In Progress is located on the ground level of the Alexander House.
