In this screening:
The Stimming Pool
UK • 1 hour 7 mins
A unique film exploring a world shaped by neurodiverse perspectives.

Seeking Wradiance

A documentary about autism in women and the assessment protocol designed to bring it to light.
The Originals
Niall Patrick McNeil, Mike McKinlay, CANADA • 40 mins
This film follows the talented team behind Caravan Stage Company and Caravan Form Theatre in Armstrong, British Columbia, while a mid-career theatre artist explores the world of filmmaking and documentary storytelling.
Strait Undercover
Benjamin Gonyo, USA • 1 hour, 31 mins
Strait Undercover is a hilarious action-comedy about a lowly rural USDA agent who goes undercover to stop a corrupt agro-tech company from polluting his hometown. The film breaks new ground by casting Race Eberhardt, a comedic actor with a disability, in the lead role as the hero, without drawing attention to his differences.
Loxy
Dimitris Zahos, Thanasis Kafetzis, GREECE • 1 hour, 27 mins
Loxandra, a young woman with Down Syndrome, becomes the first disabled actor at the National Theatre of Greece. Leaving her hometown for Athens, she navigates rehearsals, friendship, and first love, all while challenging barriers and breaking stereotypes with humour and heart.
Lone Wolves
Ryan Cunningham, USA • 1 hour, 35 mins
When a pragmatic forty-something recruits the eclectic guy she didn’t go to prom with as her DIY sperm donor, she discovers he’s autistic and facing mental health challenges; turning her weekend in Toledo, Ohio, completely upside down.
