The Stimming Pool
An experimental—at times fantastical—hybrid movie, co-created by a collective of autistic artists, The Neurocultures Collective who invite you into a neurodiverse world within the undulating logic of neurotypical environments. An engaging hybrid feature film, THE STIMMING POOL presents the possibilities of a world informed by autistic perspectives and perception. A B-Movie film club host introduces a lost animated horror movie; a young woman fills out questionnaires and watches sequences in an eye tracking test; an office worker goes about their life, masking their autistic nature; a picture book tells the story of an enigmatic dog-human spirit watching over people with disabilities. The co-directors invite the audience to take pleasure in exploring details in every part of the frame. Each of the characters exists in a separate world whilst also jumping and cutting through one another. Some are concealing their autism and dealing with the resulting feelings of isolation, while others thrive in the communities and support structures around them.
