Donovan’s Brain + Introduction

An attempt to keep alive the brain of millionaire megalomaniac W.H. Donovan after an otherwise fatal plane crash goes awry as the brain has other ideas…With introduction by Robin Elliott-Knowles.

Director: Felix E Feist

83 Mins / 1953 / USA

This will be an autism friendly B Movie Fan club as Part of our neurodiversity film festival.

At last an anti-capitalist B-Movie. Scientists remove the still living brain of a dead tycoon but the evil brain begins to telepathically control the lead scientist. Surely an Elon Musk warning!

B-Movie Fan Club is a unique monthly film night programmed by our in-house B-Movie fanatic, Robin Elliot Knowles.

Find out more about B Movie Fan Club – all tickets just £7.50 and have free candy included! Plus, get your special B Movie poster for charity.

About our Autism-friendly ‘relaxed’ screenings:

An Autism-friendly screening is where people can watch a film in a relaxed environment.

They are different from regular film screenings because:

  • the lights are low instead of completely off, so you can still see where you’re going
  • the volume is a little lower than a standard screening
  • you can move around the cinema freely as you wish during the screening
  • you can leave the cinema room during the screening and return without having to worry
  • you can make noise, stim, and enjoy yourself
  • there is a friendly atmosphere
  • there are people around if you need any help

These screenings are for anyone who would feel safe and welcome in this environment.

Our new Autism-friendly relaxed screenings are curated by Robin Elliott-Knowles (founder of the Electric Palace B Movie Fan Club and co-creator of The Stimming Pool)  and Eggtooth Film Club. Screenings will be followed by informal discussion.

Bring a trusted friend for free:

Tickets for our Autism-friendly screenings are £10 – and with our double ticket option you can bring a trusted friend along for free! Or come along on your own and meet some friendly faces eager to enjoy cinema in a relaxed environment.

At Electric Palace, we think the cinema should be for everyone, that’s why we offer Autism-friendly screenings.
