Paper (2018), film still

About this Short Film

Paper is a short film by Rosewood State High School (Australia, 2018) that shines a light on achievement, learning and recognition. Its focus is on young people navigating cognitive processing, intellectual and sensory disabilities, and the skills and social dynamics that shape their school life. Rather than offering a single narrative, Paper invites viewers to consider certificates, milestones and group experiences through the perspectives of teenagers. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film contributes to a wider conversation about ability, inclusion and what success can look like for students with disability. An honest, respectful piece from a school filmmaking team.
