International Perspective
The Stimming Pool
The Stimming Pool
In film, people with different brains are rarely in charge, though they are often characters. Co-created by the Neurocultures Collective (Sam Chown Ahern, Georgia Bradburn, Benjamin Brown, Robin Elliott-Knowles, Lucy Walker) and artist-filmmaker Steven Eastwood, the film is an experimental hybrid whose drifting form is built around the concept of an autistic camera. The curiosity of this camera discovers a relay of subjects who stray through the world, revealing environments often hostile to autistic experience —such as a hectic workplace and a crowded pub— and quiet spaces that offer a respite from them. All have a shared objective: to find a place where they are free to move and stim —common repetitive behaviors of Autism Spectrum Disorder performed as a means of calming down, concentrating or for pleasure—, uninhibited by the tests and restrictions of normative society.
Presented at the CPH:DOX.
