I Didn't See You There

Spurred by the spectacle of a circus tent outside his Oakland apartment, a disabled filmmaker launches into a meditative journey exploring the history of freakdom, vision, and (in)visibility. Shot from director Reid Davenport's physical perspective - mounted to his wheelchair or handheld - "I Didn't See You There" serves as a clear rebuke to the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard. Also included is the short film "The Beautiful Colors of Jeremy Sicile" about a painter transcending his disability and communicating his dreams to others.
