About this Short Film
Look Who's Talking (Rachel Anyon, Australia, 2020) explores how people communicate beyond words. Through attention to body language, signing and sensory cues, the short highlights non-verbal expression among children and teenagers, including those with intellectual or sensory disability. It asks viewers to notice the small ways an individual shows feeling and intent, and to question assumptions about communication. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability programme, the film contributes to a wider celebration of the skills and perspectives of people with disability. Clear and direct, it rewards close watching and fresh attention to everyday, embodied ways of connecting.
