For immediate release: 

Remembering Nearfield is a short, animated film by UK film producer Sean A. Carney that gives electrohypersensitivity (EHS) a powerful voice. Entered into 88 international film festivals the film is already garnering much interest in festivals in Rome, Istanbul, and Lisbon. 

Carney believes animation “can be a profound social game-changer, powerful enough in some cases to dissolve taboos and start important conversations.” He adds, “We need to transcend unhelpful taboos relating to EMF harm to see EHS for what it is – a real problem affecting real people in the real world.” Carney hopes his film will put this often-neglected disability forefront in the minds of his audience. 

EHS is estimated to afflict 26.5 million Europeans alone restricting access to employment and necessitating social withdrawal to avoid exposure. Remembering Nearfield’s narrator, Corriëlle van Vuuren, delivers an eye-opening chronicle of her own journey into unexpected ill-health with an eventual diagnosis of EHS. Carney preserves and enhances her raw statement with brilliantly poignant animation.  

This film was made because education matters. Internationally acclaimed neuroscientist Professor Olle Johansson formerly of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, had this to say: “For an academic scientist like myself, it is always very impressive to see skilled movie makers, artists, and performers, summarize in less than 10 minutes a staggering 45 years of research!” 

Carney hopes his film will “speak for itself” and start an urgent global conversation about EHS. Your valued support of the film is most welcome. You are invited to generate positive publicity and begin conversations that will catalyse understanding, tolerance, and inclusivity as we work together to bring clarity and solutions to bear on the issue of EHS.
