About this Short Film
Victory with Vision (Carson Street School, Australia, 2025) joins the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival with a thoughtful look at school life for young people with disability. The short highlights themes of congenital, intellectual and physical disability, and includes group interactions and wheelchair users among its subjects. Shot and presented by a school community, it offers moments that recognise everyday strengths, friendships and challenges without needing a single dramatic storyline. Ideal for audiences wanting an honest, grounded glimpse into how children and teenagers experience school, this film sits comfortably within the festival’s celebration of ability, inclusion and community.

Such a beautiful concept The children did an excellent job and it was so wonderful to see my little sister represented in this short film. She is just incredible and looks so happy making this video with her friends at school. This is just amazing and such a fun opportunity for the children to participate in. Wonderful
Job well done The students have done exceptionally well they need to be congratulated and should be extremely proud of their work. I understand the students did the lot themselves presenting their own story choosing the music and doing the filming. Very inspirational. Great to see the students disintegrating the obstacles around them as they strive forward. Keep up the great work and most importantly have fun doing it.
How amazing and how strong and fit you all are. A group of highly skilled and talented young students you all must be so very proud.
I loved how the music and the person commenting worked so well together. The special effects were so cool and so were the costumes. So clever guys
Very inspiring Great use of technology
Wow what an amazing achievement to all the boys and girls who made this film. It is such a joy to see the smiles on your faces. I'm so proud of you all. Well done.
This simply warms my heart Love it So impressed that the students created every part of this - film plot soundtrack their starring roles the script...WOW So talented and inspiring. We need to see and promote more of this talent from those with such ABILITIES as opposed to them being seen with dis-abilities. Thanks Red Gum students for shining so brightly
