Goalball

About this Short Film

Goalball is a short film from Centenary State High School (Australia, 2021). Made by young filmmakers, it explores themes of blindness and sensory disability within a school and sport setting. Rather than telling a single story, the film offers a window into group life, teamwork and the experience of teenagers and young adults in a school environment. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Goalball contributes to our celebration of the abilities and achievements of people with disability. It invites audiences to reflect on how sport and school communities can support inclusion, while showcasing the perspective and creativity of student filmmakers.

Congratulations Leticia and the team. Editorially and pictorially descriptive of a subject few have ever been exposed to. Gee I want to have a go As a former long-time TV producer and journalist your production was excellent. Best wishes for the future.

A very informative documentary utilising athletes officials and sports administrators to explain the sport and its benefits. Great work Letitia and Sporting Wheelies.

I liked the tag at the end about focusing on the ability not the disability. I also learnt something new having never heard of Goal Ball before.

How amazing. For someone like myself who can't imagine life without a sport it is truly amazing that someone has had the imagination to put together something that vision impaired people can partake in. We take so much for granted. Thank you for an insight into this brilliant sport.
