RELAXED SCREENINGS

Many cinemas in the UK release of The Reason I Jump will be offering relaxed screenings – and a list of these is here.  The relaxed screenings are intended to create an easier watch for those with sensory sensitivities.  The film will be played with lower sound levels, house lights partially up, dialogue captions on screen and ‘trigger warnings’ which anticipate the more intense moments: emotional, aural or visual.  The usual rules of watching a film do not apply – you can feel free to move around, leave and come back, or make a noise!

The trigger warnings in our relaxed version of the film are something of an experiment, undertaken in consultation with autistic people and based on their individual experiences of going to the cinema..  If you went to one of the screenings we’d love to hear back about your experience: what worked for you and what could have been done better.  Please use the contact form below.

We’ve also made an Easy-Read Visual Guide to the film to help prepare people to watch a relaxed screening,  It usesa dyslexia friendly font and can be downloaded here:

About the film

Based on the bestselling book by Naoki Higashida, THE REASON I JUMP is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida’s revelatory descriptions of his autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe, a rich tapestry that leads us to Naoki’s core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.
