The Good Old Days

About this Short Film

The Good Old Days (Endeavour Sports High School, Australia, 2025) is a short film presented at the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival that highlights the abilities and everyday experiences of young people with disability. Set around school life, it uses music, sport and sensory moments to portray teenagers living with deafness, intellectual and cognitive processing differences. The work shows group dynamics, learning and friendship without sensationalising, and offers a warm, honest view of inclusion in a school setting. Presented with clarity and care, it sits well within our festival's aim to celebrate achievement and broaden how audiences see disability.
