WE WERE BLIND BUT NOW WE CAN SEE
5 min · Documentary, Animation · Directed by Joel Karppanen
Released
In 1980, 15-year-old Mika Taanila—soon to be a renowned filmmaker—recorded, under his then moniker Musiikkivyöry, a track titled We’re Becoming Blind. Here, played in reverse, it accompanies abstract 16mm film hand-painted by contemporary teenagers and fragments from Jean-Luc Godard’s Le Mépris (1963) and Ici et ailleurs (1976). Images and sounds echo across generations: a fragile dialogue of sight and blindness, of refusal and revelation.
