About this Short Film
Freedom, by Cara (Australia, 2021), is presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The short brings together performance and visual moments to reflect on mobility, identity and independence. Viewers will recognise themes linked to cerebral palsy, congenital and intellectual disability, wheelchair use and physical accessibility, with water appearing as a notable element. Acting and individual presence are key to the film's tone. As a festival organiser, I recommend Freedom to audiences interested in diverse perspectives on disability and choice. It sits comfortably within the festival’s program, which highlights the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.

On'ya Anton I've always known you were a fine poet and performer. Before this film I never knew you were also an athlete. May the bubbles last forever.
Just wonderful to see Anton again. Brought tears of joy to see his life is full of love and happiness.
