About this Short Film
Clarah's Dance, created by Marcellin College in New Zealand, is a short film presented at the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Through dance and group performance in a school context, it highlights themes of cerebral palsy, congenital disability and intellectual disability while prompting viewers to reconsider perception and viewpoint. The film offers a sensitive look at inclusion and the energy of teenagers coming together to perform. Made by Marcellin College, it feels immediate and honest, inviting audiences to notice ability rather than limitation. A warm, thoughtful contribution to the festival programme that celebrates diverse voices and everyday achievement.
