About this Short Film
Seeing Beyond, by Brooke Jensen and James Alimboyong (Australia, 2019), explores themes around serious illness, limb loss and life with a prosthesis. The short film reflects on meningococcal illness, medical disability and the practical and emotional challenges faced by a young adult redefining motivation and independence. Presented in the Focus on Ability program, it sits alongside works that celebrate everyday skills, resilience and the diversity of experience within disability communities. Clear and compassionate, the film offers audiences a grounded, human perspective on recovery and adaptation without spectacle. A thoughtful, quietly powerful addition to this year’s festival selection.
