Event description
Join us for a free, relaxed screening of Disney and Pixar’s long anticipated follow up to 2015’s Inside Out – Inside Out 2.
Stepping back into Riley’s mind just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something new… Riley becoming a teenager and all the new emotions that come with it. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long ben running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone, she’s brought along Embarrassment, Envy and Ennui.
This calm, welcoming film experience is designed especially for autistic children, young people, and adults.
Before You Arrive
- Staff will be on hand to welcome you and answer any questions
- You will be able to enter the screening space early if this helps
- A visual guide/social story can be provided in advance if you would find it helpful
During the Screening
- The seating capacity will be reduced to allow you space to move around – you are free to come and go
- There will be a relaxed atmosphere meaning you’re free to make noise – talking, stimming, and movement are welcome
- The lights are turned up a little, and the sound is turned down a bit and the film will have subtitles
- There will be a quiet space where you can take a break if you need it – ear defenders and sensory aids are absolutely fine to bring
Who Is This For?
This screening is designed for:
- Autistic audience members
- People with sensory processing differences
- Families, siblings, and support workers
- Anyone who prefers a more relaxed, flexible cinema experience
After the Film
You are welcome to stay for a few minutes to avoid busy exits. Staff will be around if you have any questions or need support leaving the venue calmly.
What is Autonomy?
This relaxed screening is part of Sunderland Culture’s Autonomy project.
Autonomy is a new, creative programme for autistic individuals living in Sunderland. It has been set up to help autistic young people (16-25) to socially and creatively connect with other autistic young adults and their carers. We believe that autistic adults should have the freedom and ability to enjoy creative and cultural opportunities, whilst being respected as individuals with unique needs and preferences.
The Autonomy project is generously supported by the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) Connected Communities programme, which is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s Know Your Neighbourhood Fund, through Arts Council England.
