Winner of the Documentary Director award and a Grand Jury Prize nominee at 2022 Sundance, Reid Davenport’s I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE is a funny, infuriating look at the ways disabled folks must navigate a hostile world. When a circus tent goes up outside Reid’s Oakland apartment, he launches into a meditative journey exploring the history of freakdom, vision, and (in)visibility. Shot from the director’s perspective – mounted to his wheelchair or handheld – the film serves as a clear rebuke to the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard.
