Have CANE will TRAVEL, by Pete Vance (Australia, 2022), is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores themes of blindness, music, perception and individual viewpoint, offering a sensory-led approach rather than a conventional narrative. The work uses sound and rhythm to invite reflection on how people experience the world and how that experience shapes perspective. Presented for adult audiences, the film sits comfortably within the festival’s program that highlights the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Pete Vance’s piece asks viewers to listen closely and reconsider assumptions about sense and difference.
Cain enables the blind to do many things It's not just a bowl on a stick connected by strings By day we step out with pride, by night they say that we shine Yes, Cain enables the blind to do many things Tapping out loud, Cain clears the way up ahead People with bone and coffee in each hand is something we dread With their eyes and ears off the path, Cain is up to the task And with a gentle collision they allow us to pause Oh, Cain enables the blind to do many things At airports, as we walk through the door Cain is spotted so quickly, that's for sure First through customs, with the captain and the crew True VIP treatment given only to a few Oh, Cain enables the blind to do many things It's not just a bowl on a stick connected by strings By day we step out with pride, by night they say that we shine Yes, Cain enables the blind to do many things In Hong Kong, whisked away in a wheelchair My partner cried out, wait for me, that's not fair Lost at the airport, she cried out, oh so loud After spotting Cain twirling way high above the crowd Oh, Cain enables the blind to do many things Back home, Cain in control, steps out once again So many braille trails and tactile pavers, oh when will they end? Some take us to places where we really don't want to go Then we just smile and proceed very slow Oh, Cain enables the blind to do many things It's not just a bowl on a stick connected by strings By day we step out with pride, by night they say that we shine Yes, Cain enables the blind to do many things Oh really? Yes, Cain enables the blind to do many things You must be joking Cain enables the blind to do anything No limits Yes, Cain enables the blind to do anything Wishing you all a very happy International White Cain Day
