About this Short Film
Sinking, directed by Lenny Alaniz (Australia, 2023), is a short film that examines perception, isolation and frustration through a quiet, adult-focused lens. It does not offer easy answers, instead inviting viewers to sit with moments that speak to mental health and the experience of being an individual navigating shifting viewpoints. Included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it complements a program dedicated to films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. The film asks us to consider how small, internal struggles can shape everyday life, and how attention and care change the way we see one another.
