The Pie, from Maryborough Education Centre Specialist Setting (Australia, 2023), is a short film featured in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It offers a warm, honest look at young people navigating school life, friendship and communication while living with cognitive processing and intellectual disabilities. Shot with care, the work highlights everyday moments, the language of teens and the ways groups support one another. Rather than telling a sweeping tale, the film invites viewers to notice small acts of humour, kindness and resilience. A gentle, human portrait, The Pie sits comfortably within the festival’s aim to celebrate ability, voice and community.
