The Stimming Pool (12A) + ScreenTalk

Relaxed Screening

,Cinema 3
A group of people stand in a room, red dots are placed over the image.

The Stimming Pool is a unique film exploring a world shaped by neurodiverse perspectives.

The narrative unfolds through an autistic camera, capturing diverse subjects navigating environments both challenging and comforting.

Characters, some concealing their autism, others thriving in their communities, share a common goal: finding a space free from societal norms—the Stimming Pool.

We are delighted to host a ScreenTalk following the film with the filmmakers, Georgia Bradburn, Benjamin Brown, Sam Chown Ahern and Steven Eastwood, and will be hosted by Lillian Crawford.
