About this Short Film
Hearing Like Me (Marton Public School, Australia, 2020) offers a sensitive look at the sensory world of children and teenagers with hearing impairment. Through moments of dance, school life and friendship, the film highlights hearing aids, lip reading, noises and perception, suggesting how communication and viewpoint shape everyday experience. It does not assume a single story, but invites viewers to notice the small tests and acts of help that matter in a school setting. Screened in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this short brings a gentle, thoughtful take on ability, difference and how young people navigate sound and silence.
