Invisible Film: Johnny Blade
Film and Q&A with the filmmakers

Can you fully experience a movie without visuals?
Together with the Kino Dostępne Foundation, we invite you to an unconventional screening of the short documentary “Johnny Blade” during which the visuals will be replaced by audio description. The event will offer an opportunity to shift perspectives and attempt to experience a movie screening in a way familiar to people who are blind or visually impaired.
Audio description is a narration that describes the characters’ actions, the setting, and body language—created so that blind and visually impaired people can fully participate in the screening—follow the plot, and feel the tension of a given scene.
What remains of a film when we strip away its visual layer? Can we still talk about “watching”? Is cinema limited to the image alone?
After the screening, we’ll discuss this topic—as well as the promotion of non-traditional ways of experiencing film—with Jan Dybczyński and Roman Roczeń from the Kino Dostępne Foundation.
The discussion will also feature Johnny—the film’s protagonist—as well as directors Konrad Tułak nghtlou and Konrad Śniady.
Although the event was created with sighted people in mind who want to see what cinema looks like when we reverse the established hierarchy of the senses, we invite blind and visually impaired people to attend—the screening is adapted to their needs, and audio description serves as a fundamental, equal layer of the film.
Before the screening:
install the free Kino Dostępne 2.0 app on your phone, search for the movie title in the app, and then download the audio description. You’ll need internet access (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to download the materials. Bring your headphones—they’re essential for participating in the event. You’ll use them to listen to the audio description, which explains what’s happening in the film.
During the screening:
Put on your headphones, and once the movie starts (not during commercials), launch the downloaded audio description in the Kino Dostępne 2.0 app (tap “Start Audio Description” in the movie tab). The app will then automatically sync with the audio.

Who is Johnny Blade—one of the stars of Warsaw’s underground PPW wrestling events?
A bloody sport, a phenomenon of underground culture, or group therapy? Or perhaps all of the above? Johnny Blade is one of the stars of Warsaw’s underground PPW wrestling events. The filmmakers follow Johnny and other enthusiasts of spectacular in-ring competition with their cameras. We watch them during training sessions and matches—and thanks to the use of charming archival footage, we also learn about the origins of the entire project.
