´A Shift in Perception´ is a humanist, informal examination of living with blindness. Taking an experimental approach to documentary making, conversations with three blind South Australian women are illustrated using a broad range of camera techniques on Super8 film (shot predominantly in black and white). The makers use stop-motion animation, time lapse and many other methods of abstraction to invite the viewer to celebrate the beauty of the women´s unique perspectives. With voices set in the midst of an experimental score by composer Alex Carpenter, the film washes over its audience like a dream; a heightened sensory experience. Described by Realtime OnScreen magazine as ‘a visual treat’ the women’s insights and the filmmakers’ artistic approach are memorable, evocative and poignant.
