The Neurocultures Collective is part of the Autism through Cinema research project, which asks: What kinds of moving images are possible when they derive from neurodivergent experiences? Neurocultures focuses on how divergent creativity can subvert neuronormative cinema, generating progressive images and providing alternative readings and perspectives of being in the world. Neurocultures’ innovative model involves collective members taking up apprenticeships in key film production and artwork installation roles. The project includes partnerships and collaboration with the art collective Project Art Works, scholar and activist Damian Milton, professor of psychology Sebastian Gaigg, producer Kate Wilson, curator Gillian Fox, and curator Christine Shaw. Neurocultures and STIM CINEMA have received support from the Wellcome Trust, BFI Doc Society, and Film London’s FLAMIN Fellowship.
The Neurocultures Collective is made up of Sam Ahern, Georgia Bradburn, Benjamin Brown, John-James Laidlow, Robin Knowles, Anupama Mann, and Lucy Walker with Steven Eastwood.
