The Story of Looking

On the day before an operation to save his eyesight, celebrated filmmaker and historian Mark Cousins explores what looking means to him, and the role our visual experience plays in our individual and collective lives.

In a deeply personal meditation on the power of looking in his own life, he guides us through the riches of the visible world, through a kaleidoscope of imagery across cultures and eras, drawing on art history, biology, neuroscience, psychology, poetry and philosophy.

Filmography: The Eyes of Orson Welles (2018), Stockholm, My Love (2016), A Story of Children and Film (2013), What Is This Film Called Love (2012), The Story of Film: An Odyssey (2011).
