About this Short Film
The Dance (Alita Fahey, Australia, 2022) is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores themes of dance, inclusion and physical disability, and involves adults, teenagers and children in group settings where mobility aids, including a walker, are part of everyday movement. The film offers a quiet, respectful look at participation, connection and the many ways people move together. Without assuming a specific storyline, The Dance sits comfortably in our programme as a work that celebrates ability and creative expression, prompting audiences to reflect on access, community and the role of movement in belonging.
