About

A screening of the film Nobody Nowhere – Self Portrait of a Ghost (2026), followed by a short run ending at 8:00 pm, held in a relaxed format with reduced volume, low lighting and freedom to move in and out. The film is both by and about Polly Samuel, also known as Donna Williams, an autistic artist and advocate, and was filmed in the last months of her life. It offers her personal account of her experience and understanding of autism, multiplicity, relationship, fame, terminal illness and what it means to be human, taking the writing and publishing of her best-selling 1992 autobiography Nobody Nowhere as its turning point. In her words, it is not just a film about her, but a film about humanness, made to help people find themselves through it.
