I Didn't See You There
EIFF is pleased to welcome Reid Davenport and Georgina Donohoe to Edinburgh this Summer to present I Didn't See You There and meet audiences in a post-screening Q&A.
When a circus tent is raised outside his Oakland apartment, director Reid Davenport can’t help but reflect on the archaic notion of the Freak Show. In an attempt to examine the long-lasting ripples of the prejudiced myth, Davenport positions the camera on his wheelchair, capturing not only how he reacts to spaces but how spaces — and people — react to him. It is a potent exercise in self-reflection that invites audiences to a world rarely depicted with such honesty on screen. [15] Rafa Sales Ross
