Sensory - film project

Sensory - film project
A fictional film about autistic people’s hospital experiences. It is grounded in the real stories and experiences of East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) staff, patients and service users. The film was co-produced with autistic people, staff, and carers, and it has a fully neurodivergent cast. It is a collaboration between the University of Bristol project ‘Sensing Spaces of Healthcare’, ELFT, and Inner Eye Productions. Overall, Sensory aims to harness the power of storytelling to represent autistic people’s hospital encounters.

Viewers are encouraged to complete a short feedback form, which is vital to helping shape and develop future projects. The form invites to reflect on key takeaways from the film, whether it changed perspectives, and how it might influence behaviours or professional practice going forward.
