La Vie selon Stan

It is said that, somewhere in the bowels of the district of La Défense, a monster slumbers, forgotten by everyone. It occupies a secluded room in the basement of this Business District dedicated to the world of finance. This gigantic creature would be the masterpiece of a man: the artist Raymond Moretti native from Nice in France. It is said that the painter sacrificed everything to this work of art. Why did he prefer to consecrate his life to it rather than to the brilliant career that presented itself to him? Why did he leave his strange offspring dragging him inexorably to the depths of La Défense and oblivion?

Benjamin Kling is an audio describer. He translates movies for blind and visually impaired viewers. After more than a hundred audio described films and series and while working on Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion, he feels the need to question his practice: is he too objective? Does he do justice to the films in all their diversity, in all their art, in the craft of the director? To answer these questions, he decides to meet blind and visually impaired people from different backgrounds. He wants to learn more about their singular way of "watching" films (they insist on saying “watching a movie”) and their expectations about audio description. What can we learn, us as sighted persons, from their way of experiencing cinema?
