What is Only about?
The poetry film Only, based on the book by Rebecca Foust, is literal (her son was born with an APGAR 1 score, not breathing for a few minutes until he was resuscitated with a hand pump), metaphorical (many people discount the lives and experiences of people on the autism spectrum), and also surreal. Filmed on the coastline with intense exposure to the elements, this work highlights the experiences of those othered in our society. The story is brought to life by director Maxine Flasher-Düzgüneş. With a runtime of 2 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
