Blending live action and animation, The Stimming Pool takes audiences on a visceral journey as five filmmakers share their individual neurodiverse experience. Lensed by Aftersun DOP Gregory Oke.
What is everyday life like for the neurodivergent? The Stimming Pool weaves together the stories of a film buff, an office worker, and other people living with autism, brilliantly capturing the sensory experience of a neurodivergent person faced, say, with a raucous pub. Co-created by the Neurocultures Collective – made up of five neurodiverse filmmakers – this profoundly immersive film was shot on 16mm by Aftersun DOP Gregory Oke on the streets of the UK. The images exert a hypnotic pull, drawing us into the lives of people determined to thrive in a chaotic world that sees them as different.
