The Home for Blind Women is a Canadian dramatic short film, directed by Sandra Kybartas and released in 1995.[1] Based on a true story, the film is a mockumentary which stars Helen Carscallen and Susan Kottmann as two elderly women living in a group home for blind women, but exploring the building's more lurid history as a bordello.[2]

The film's screenplay was written by Barbara Nichol.[2]

The film premiered at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in September 1995.

The film won the Genie Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 17th Genie Awards.[3] At the San Francisco International Film Festival in 1996, the film won the Gold Spire Award for Best Film Under 15 Minutes.[4]
