I Didn’t See You There is screening for a suggested donation of $15 / $7 reduced price on Thursday, December 8th at 7:30PM

Reid Davenport, 2022, 75 min.

When a circus tent goes up outside of his apartment, a disabled filmmaker must confront the legacy of the Freak Show and whether his past autobiographical filmmaking has fit into its tradition. With the camera pointed away from himself, he captures the personal and poetic from his wheelchair.
