The Stimming Pool – Film Premiere with Q&A
The Neurocultures Collective invite you to experience the oscillating beat of the neurodiverse experience at the Hastings Premiere of locally-made The Stimming Pool, featuring our B Movie Fan Club curator Robin Elliott-Knowles.
Director: The Neurocultures collective
70 mins / 2024 / UK
Includes Q&A with Robin Elliott-Knowles (one of the neurocultures collective) and Chloe White (Whalebone films)
This film is screening as part of our Neurodiversity Film Festival taking place from Friday 28 March to Sunday 30 March.
Created by a collective of neurodivergent filmmakers in an attempt to provide an alternative and artistic take on what it’s like to live with neurodivergence in a chaotic world not made for those who are different. We are proud to present the Hastings premiere of The Stimming Pool, innovative award winning filmmaking shot on location in and around Hastings and co-written by Robin Elliott-Knowles (founder and curator of our very own B-Movie Fan Club).
“Hypnotic threads that weave in and out of a recognisable reality with relaxed rhythms”- TIME OUT
“The Stimming Pool is like nothing else you may have seen on the film festival circuit this year.”- HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“A drifting, hybrid form captured by an ‘autistic’ camera disrupts the normative concept of life, experienced by neurotypicals.” LITTLE WHITE LIES

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