GFT, together with The National Autistic Society Scotland, is delighted to provide Access Film Club: a screening and post-film discussion in a friendly and welcoming environment. 

Creator of Memoirs of a Snail, Adam Elliot’s first feature Mary and Max tells the tale of a pen-pal friendship between two very different people: Mary, lonely 8-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia; and Max Horovitz 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York City.

Mary and Max is as funny as it is poignant, taking us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sex, agoraphobia and many more of life’s surprises.

Content notice: Contains suicide references and infrequent drug use, bullying, mental illness, depression, panic attacks, ableism, child neglect, hospitals, mental institution, electroshock-therapy, alcohol and food addiction and death.
