When a circus tent goes up outside his Oakland apartment, a disabled filmmaker launches into a meditative journey exploring the history of freakdom, vision, and (in)visibility. Shot from the director’s physical perspective — mounted to his wheelchair or handheld — ‘I Didn’t See You There’ serves as a clear rebuke to the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard. The unexpected arrival of a circus tent outside Reid’s apartment in Oakland, CA leads him to consider the history and legacy of P.T. Barnum’s Freak Show and its lingering presence in his daily life in the form of gawking, lack of access, and other forms of ableism. The film expands on the tradition of point-of-view cinema by incorporating a disabled aesthetic generated through Davenport’s own embodiment. The film so far played only in theaters that were wheelchair accessible, and where it could be screened with open or closed captions. The film’s detailed captions, created by Cheryl Green, were favorably compared to its ‘complex, immersive sound design’. There is an audio-described version of the film narrated by director Reid Davenport.
