On the 8th October, the Hot Springs Documentary Festival opens and 'Drawing on Autism' will be available to stream from the Festival website. Alex's film will also appear at the Raindance festival, screening in London on the 4th November at Curzon Soho, and will feature as part of the Animated Shorts schedule at the New Orleans Film Festival in November.
'Drawing on Autism' investigates the ethics of a non-autistic researcher collaborating with an autistic subject to co-create an animated film. Alex uses animated documentary techniques to reflect on artist responsibility, as well as the nature of representation within the context of autism.
