Lightness

About this Short Film

Lightness (2019) from Kangaroo Island Community Education is a brief, sensitive film from Australia that considers themes of blindness, sensory disability and youth. Working with images of group activity, school life, dance and movement, it offers a thoughtful look at how children and teenagers experience their world. There is an emphasis on sensory ways of knowing rather than a reliance on sight, and the film invites audiences to notice rhythm, touch and shared play. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Lightness sits alongside other works that celebrate ability, resilience and creativity, prompting conversations about inclusion in schools.
