Brazilian filmmakers Joao Jardim and Walter Carvalho ponder the old adage "the eyes are the windows to the soul" as they explore vision and perception in their 2002 documentary A Janela Da Alma (Window of the Soul). Beginning with an interview with Brazilian jazz musician Hermeto Pascoal, Carvalho and Jardim attempt to make sense of how the musician perceives his world with a pair of impaired eyes that appear to simultaneously look in different directions. From there, the Brazilian co-directors interview a number of famous subjects with varying degrees of ocular health, ranging from the non-vision impaired director Wim Wenders to blind photographer Evgen Bavcar, while both the filmmakers and the interview subjects ponder how their lives and existences would be different had their abilities or inabilities to see the world around them been different. Released in Brazil in the summer of 2002 to mixed reviews, A Janela Da Alma was screened at a number of film festivals around the world in late 2002 into early 2003. ~ Ryan Shriver, All Movie Guide

This German documentary, filmed in black and white, profiles Evgen Bavcar, the blind Slavonian photographer. In his own view, Bavcar considers himself anything but a photographer. Rather, he describes himself as an aesthete, philosopher, and a writer. Blind for 38 years, he lost his vision in two accidents during childhood. He has lived in Paris for 19 years and has been exhibiting his internationally renowned pictures since the 1980s. The film includes his personal observations and many examples of his work. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
