What is a Relaxed Screening?
Relaxed screenings are for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed cinema environment.
The films are screened without advertising and with consistent lighting and lower sound levels throughout. The cinema won't be completely dark at any time.
Seats are unallocated, so you can come into the cinema and decide where you'd like to sit. You are free to move around or come in and out of the cinema during the screening too.
Why is every screening of The Stimming Pool a Relaxed Screening?
The Stimming Pool is an experimental film created by a collective of autistic artists, the Neurocultures Collective, and filmmaker Steven Eastwood. The film invites the audience to experience a neurodiverse world through a mix of documentary and imagined stories.
The film's creators explain that all of its characters "have a shared objective: to find a place where they are free to move and stim, uninhibited by the restrictions of normative society," which is an objective we hope to reflect in our friendly Relaxed Screenings.
