Seven short films by Stewart Lane explore diversity, divergence and neurodiversity, raising questions of agency and the social systems that shape collective life. His trilogy 3 ‘i’s (Diversity in the mix) blend documentary with subtly surreal imagery, the interrelation of sound and image carrying meaning in unexpected ways. Together, the works probe the complexities of how we experience and understand one another, navigating complexity, perception and difference with both curiosity and openness.
