What does an autistic cinema look like? Crafted by the Neurocultures Collective and Steven Eastwood, this film challenges neurotypical ways of seeing. Its characters move through non-linear time and space, and environments both comforting and distressing, towards a utopia of unmasking: the Stimming Pool. Shot on film by Greg Oke (Aftersun) and interwoven with animated sequences, the film features an eclectic soundtrack, creating a fascinating and immersive journey.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the directors, hosted by writer and Stims co-founder Lillian Crawford. There will be a ten minute break between the film and the discussion in which you will have time to refresh.
