Five Years Filming Beyond Sight Loss at Victorious Festival

This year marked the fifth time we’ve filmed at Victorious Festival alongside Beyond Sight Loss (formerly known as Below 2020), and honestly, it still feels just as important now as it did the first time.

Once again, we were there to document visually impaired photographers working right in the heart of the festival. Not as a novelty. Not as a side story. But as skilled creatives doing what they do best, capturing live music, atmosphere, and moments that most people assume are out of reach if you have impaired vision.

Our aim with this project is simple and hasn’t changed over the years: to show that sight loss does not mean the end of creativity, ambition, or opportunity. There are still amazing things you can do, still careers you can build, and still spaces you belong in. Festivals like Victorious are loud, busy, unpredictable environments, and that’s exactly why this work matters. It challenges assumptions head-on.

For this year’s film, we followed the photographers as they navigated the site, photographed the artists, and interviewd the revellers. What comes through every time is confidence, skill, and a refusal to be boxed in by other people’s expectations. That’s the story Beyond Sight Loss continues to push, and it’s one we’re proud to help tell.

We also want to say a genuine thank you to the Victorious Festival team for supporting this work and providing us with weekend media passes. That access makes projects like this possible, and it sends a clear message that inclusion isn’t just talked about, it’s actively supported.

Five years in, this collaboration still hits hard for the right reasons. It’s not about inspiration for inspiration’s sake. It’s about visibility, representation, and showing what’s possible when barriers are removed and people are trusted to do their thing.

We’ll keep turning up for this work, because stories like these deserve to be seen, heard, and taken seriously.
