Looking is so important in our lives. Our memories and experiences are shaped by what we see in addition to our other senses. What happens when you can no longer look so well? When seeing becomes difficult?
Join Mark Cousins, Edinburgh Filmmaker, as he explores his experience with the development of cataracts and their removal. His film The Story of Looking is launching in Edinburgh, Scotland on Friday August 27th 2021 is based on his book The Story of Looking. It will be in cinemas on Friday September 17th 2021.
But the key thing I discovered in writing the book and undergoing my own operation was that looking isn’t wholly outward. I’m not taking visual information from the outside world into my brain and filing it away. Something less expected is happening." – Mark Cousins
A cataract is a natural change within the eye that happens over time and can be impacted by other factors such as smoking, sunlight exposure, some medications and diseases like diabetes. Slowly over time the vision becomes hazy, and some describe it as a smudge in their vision. Cataracts are completely curable; in that they can be removed through surgery. This surgery is relatively quick to be done and quick to recover from and is one of the most common operations undertaken on the eyes.
Once a cataract is removed, vision is restored to its previous level, just like cleaning the lens of a camera to enable clear photographs to be taken. Mark Cousins’ film captures his experience of looking and how sight transforms, and shapes lives. The first of it’s kind exploring the impact of cataracts and their effect on sight, this is a film not to miss on the big screen!
