DISCLAIMER:

About the Film-Festival
Neurocinema is a Neurodivergent Film Festival that focuses on showcasing films created by or about neurodivergent individuals. Neurodivergence refers to variations in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood, and other mental functions, often encompassing conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more.
​
The film festival aims to highlight neurodivergent voices, promote understanding, celebrate diversity, and foster a supportive community, thereby increasing awareness, breaking down stereotypes, and celebrating the creativity within the neurodivergent community.
​
Each film-screening will highlight certain themes. This year we will feature four themes (see below in Programme). These themes address critical aspects of life that are significantly impacted by neurodivergence, offering a holistic view of the challenges and strengths within the community.
Following the film screening is a discussion session, where we'll dive deeper into the themes of neurodiversity. The session will provide an opportunity for the audience to ask questions, explore the unique challenges highlighted in the films, and discuss the broader implications for inclusivity. ​
Film Screenings
Unwritten Languages
Film-screening 1
11:30 - 12.40
How do we speak when words fall short? Vulnerable, playful and deeply human, these films explore the unspoken reality of neurodivergent experiences.
Behind the Mask
Film-screening 2
14:00 - 15:30
Some feelings are meant to be hidden, until someone earns the trust to witness them. These films allow us to peel back the layers of loneliness, fear, and uncertainty and reveal what often remains unseen.
The Shape of Home
Film-screening 3
15:45 - 16:45
What does it mean to belong? These films search for connection and understanding within families and communities - and ourselves.
Together in Oddness
Film-screening 4
17:30 - 19:05
Love and friendship spark in the strangest places. Let's celebrate our inner oddballs with these whimsical, magical, and tender films where our quirks become the glue that binds us together.
