Gabor

Directed by Sebastián Alfie

This inspiring documentary tells the remarkable story of a friendship between Sebas and Gabor, a young filmmaker and a blind cinematographer. Commissioned to make a short film for Ulls Del Mon, an NGO dedicated to the prevention of blindness, Sebas took the daring decision to employ Gabor, a talented but now blind Director of Photography who hasn’t worked in a number of years. The tale develops with humour and emotion as they embark on an apparently quixotic quest from Barcelona to El Alto, the second-largest city in Bolivia.

HOME has specially commissioned an audio description for blind or partially sighted customers to accompany this screening. With thanks to Anne Hornsby at Mind’s Eye Description Services and translator Alicia Sánchez Requena.
