87 mins – United Kingdom 2021 – Documentary – Dir: Mark Cousins

Featuring: Mark Cousins

In a deeply personal meditation on the power of looking in his own life, he guides us through the riches of the visible world, a kaleidoscope of extraordinary imagery across cultures and eras.

He shares the pleasure and pain of seeing the world, in all its complexity and contradiction, with eyes wide open.
