The Stimming Pool

To mark Autism Acceptance Month, Access Film Club will host this special screening of The Stimming Pool + Q&A. All tickets £6.90. The Stimming Pool is an experimental — at times fantastical — hybrid feature film, co-created by a collective of autistic artists, the Neurocultures Collective, and filmmaker Steven Eastwood, who invite you into a neurodiverse world within the undulating logic of neurotypical environments. The film presents the possibilities of a world informed by autistic perspectives and perception. The drifting form of this experimental and sometimes magical film is built around the concept of an autistic camera. The curiosity of this camera discovers 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 respite from them. Sometimes the camera wanders off without any guide, finding an ancient woodland, an abandoned testing centre, even a fragment from an animated zombie film set during the American Civil War. Join us for this screening hosted by our Access Film Club host, Random Coyle. They will be joined by some of The Stimming Pool filmmakers and the Director of National Autistic Society Scotland, Rob Holland. Access Film Club is GFT's monthly autism-friendly film event, in partnership with National Autistic Society Scotland.DocumentaryPT1H7M12A2025-04-07
