The film

Prosopagnosia uses expressive animation to investigate intimacy, communication and memory. Prosopagnosia means face-blindness and to understand this neurodiverse behaviour, the contents of a memory box are intricately explored.

Sketchbooks, photographs and diaries unravel to tell a unique and personal story.

Steven Fraser:

Steven is delighted by the continued success, screenings and the fact that the film is connecting with festivals across the globe. Steven will attend as many of the screenings as he can and will appear online or at Q&As of those he can't.
