Experimental film
3 min
Neurodivergence (ND) is a term used to describe ways in which the human brain can function, learn and process information differently. Neurodivergence includes Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Conditions, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Trotman's experimental film reclaims the term neurodivergent through abstract imagery and poetics, exploring tethered existences, the textures, complexity and tensions between the mainstream and neurodivergent ways of being. ND, YOU, ME is an Umbrella project, GLITCH interrogates ideas on interdependence, productivity and ND joy using an ND and disabled lens.
The experimental film brings non-typical ways of being into focus and explores neurodiversity, compassion, interdependence and connectedness, celebrating the tapestry of ND bodyminds and experiences.
