In common with many key figures in Werner Herzog’s films, Kaspar Hauser is at odds with his surroundings. Having been isolated through childhood, he is then abandoned in a city where he is treated as a freak and attempts are made to socialise him. Bruno S portrays Kaspar’s inner and social journey with sensitivity, revealing his acute sensory perception and curiosity about the world.

In a change to the advertised listing, we are sorry to announce Benjamin Brown will no longer be taking part in this event.

We are very pleased to announce that writer and researcher Dr Ethan Lyon, co-host of Autism Through Cinema podcast will now host the event and post-screening discussion.

Relaxed screenings are presented each month for neurodivergent audiences, with their companions and assistants. More detailed information can be found at bfi.org.uk/relaxed.
