About this Short Film
7000 Years, by Sally Newman (Australia, 2019), is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than following a known storyline, it examines ideas of acceptance and change, and asks viewers to consider perception, viewpoint and mental health in relation to cognitive and physical disability. The film brings a group sensibility to its subject, highlighting varied ways people process information and show strength. It is a thoughtful, quietly powerful work that fits the festival's aim of showcasing the abilities and experiences of people with disability. Expect a reflective piece that opens space for new ways of seeing.
