The documentary A Touching Sight by Alberto Amoretti and Giovanni Hänninen, produced by the Albers Foundation on the occasion of the touring exhibition Voyage Inside a Blind Experience, has been awarded numerous accolades since its first screening in 2019. Most recently, the film received an honorable mention from the On Art Film Festival in Warsaw, Poland. In June 2020, the DisAbility Film Festival at Western Colorado University awarded the film with Viewer's Choice.

A Touching Sight was made when the exhibition was at Santa Maria della Scala Museum in Siena, Italy, and at the Glucksman Museum in Cork, Ireland. The exhibition developed from a collaboration between Atlante Servizi Culturali and the Albers Foundation, together with the Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano, and with the support of the three European museums presenting the exhibition.
