Anna Ulrikke Andersen’s _The Fenestral Essay Film 
<https://www.screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-16-1/the-fenestral-essay-film>_

In _The Fenestral Essay Film 
<https://www.screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-16-1/the-fenestral-essay-film>_, Anna 
Ulrikke Andersen explores how the architectural essay film, a subgenre 
of the essay film, is helpful to think about the historical and social 
aspects of architecture and spatial thinking (Haralambidou 2015). /The 
Window and I/ (2015) is a filmic exploration of three sets of windows, 
an essayistic self-portrait that explores framing, mobility and 
self-reflection as a critical spatial practice, following the practice 
and work of architectural theorist Jane Rendell (2006), coining the term 
"fenestral essay film".

Daryl Scott's /_Negotiating-Z: Videographic torpedoing and the art of 
videographic thinking 
<https://www.screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-16-1/negotiating-z>_/ is 
a richly observed and intellectually engaging docu‑video essay, this 
piece offers a compelling blend of critique and homage as it navigates 
Terrence Malick’s cinematic world. It thoughtfully merges documentary 
sensibilities with the evolving language of the video essay, crafting an 
inventive form of academic cinema that is both reflective and 
aesthetically driven. Through this hybrid approach, the work not only 
illuminates Malick’s artistry but also charts the author’s own 
methodological evolution within screen‑based research.

Yu-Lun Sung, Lennie Varvarides, Kazimir Bielecki's /_Visualising 
Neurodivergent Thought Processes 
<https://www.screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-16-1/visualising-neurodivergent>_///utilizes 
the desktop documentary format. Conducted by a team of two 
neurodivergent artists and one neurotypical researcher, the authors 
argue that desktop documentary, interpreted through Mieke Bal's 
Image-Thinking framework, serves as a legitimate method for 
understanding 'thinking in pictures' and externalising cognitive traits, 
particularly foregrounding the affective and political dimensions of the 
artmaking process. The authors contend that the format effectively 
highlights neurodivergent cognition by displaying the raw, iterative 
nature of thought, including its nonlinear, repetitive, and associative 
characteristics. The study proposes ‘Honesty' as a key characteristic 
linked to the Neurodivergent (ND) Aesthetic, defined as a refusal to 
sanitise the thought process. This approach challenges normative 
storytelling and invites viewers to reflect on the political and 
affective dimensions of the screen. Ultimately, the work positions 
desktop subjectivity as an "honest choreography" that externalises 
internal cognitive processes.
