DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.25.15 People with visual impairment use information from other senses to gain knowledge about the world around them. More and more studies conducted withthe participation of visually impaired people indicate that data obtained through auditory perception is extremely important. In this context, the ability of echolocation used by blind people to move independently is interesting. The aim of the article is to present echolocation as a method supporting spatial orientation of people with visual impairment. The article presents the results of empirical studies of echolocation. It also presents the benefits of using this ability in everyday life and signals research projects related to the methodology of teaching echolocation in Poland.

In the discussion on visual culture accessibility for people with visual impairments, Andrzej Jakimowski’s Imagine is a unique production that shows the potential of cinematic experience communicated through audio description – a solution rarely exploited to such an extent in Polish cinematography. This article analyses various stages of preparation in this international film production, with each providing an original creative response to the needs of the visually impaired: from the script focused on the presence of the blind in society to the promotion and distribution strategies that guaranteed the full participation of visually impaired viewers in the film screenings from the day of its premiere. Cognitive film theories by Julian Hochberg, Virginia Brooks, and Peter Ohler enable an in-depth reflection on the alternative perception of film – in this case based on sound. The author of the article pays particular attention to the message of Imagine as a film that not only recognises the visually impaired as full-fledged viewers but above all appreciates their way of perception as potentially more valuable than the automatic – habitual – perception of people with regular vision. As a result, Imagine seems to be a work that is not only fully accessible, but also original, valuable, and crucial. The success of this production should serve as an inspiration for other filmmakers.
