A Stroke of Art

About this Short Film

A Stroke of Art (Cameron Hurry, Australia, 2021) is a short film that explores themes of art, achievement and life after stroke. Quiet and observant, it considers how creative practice and physical change can coexist and what achievement can mean in new circumstances. The film fits naturally within the Focus on Ability programme, which highlights the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Expect a thoughtful, human portrait that privileges sensory detail over explanation. It is designed to prompt reflection and conversation about accessibility, resilience and the role of art in everyday recovery. A gentle, hopeful watch for festival audiences.

Beautiful work Cameron. Showing us how the radiant beauty of a gentle soul shines on despite adversity. There's unmistakable love resonating in every syllable of this simple narration inspirational and moving - and in the face of her bright smile and the dancing light in her sparkling eyes I found my own smile steadily growing broader and broader as I joined her for these special few moments. Thankyou Cameron and Lynne.
