Touching Darkness

Ten-year-old Vítek has special abilities – he can feel and hear what others cannot. This animated documentary, made using the technique of sand animation, opens a door to his world and shows us that the absence of one sense doesn't have to be just an obstacle.

Jamaica Kindlová is a student at the Department of Animation at FAMU. Besides film, she is interested in illustration and puppet theater.

Her latest film Touching Darkness was created using sand animation technique and it reveals the world of a ten-year-old blind boy.
