The Stimming Pool is an award-winning experimental and sometimes magical hybrid film whose drifting form is built around the concept of an autistic camera. After the screening, we will be joined by co-directors Georgia Bradburn, a member of the Neurocultures Collective, and Steven Eastwood, for a discussion exploring themes of neurodiversity, film and the visual arts as a medium to explore the possibilities of a world informed by autistic perspectives and perception.
The event is in collaboration with the 50th anniversary celebrations of Disability Law Service, a unique charity that has been providing free legal advice and representation for Disabled people since 1975.
Radical Film School is a free programme for marginalised participants dedicated to developing, advocating for, and supporting a new generation of political filmmakers that is empowered, diverse, radical, fearlessly creative, and represents the future of the UK's art cinema.
