About this Short Film
The Word (2020) by Em Blyth is a short film from Australia that reflects on perception, music and mental health through the lens of disability. Rooted in themes such as ADHD, dysplasia and physical and medical disability, it offers a thoughtful, sensory experience that invites viewers to consider how young adults navigate identity and daily life.

Presented with care and subtlety, The Word adds a quiet, personal perspective to conversations about difference, support and the many ways people make sense of the world.
