About this Short Film
F.O.A. (Australia, 2025) by Neville Hiatt uses stop motion to explore themes of individual experience and mental health. The film relies on tactile animation and quiet rhythms to create a reflective mood, inviting viewers to consider the varied ways people live with and respond to mental health challenges. Short and intimate, F.O.A. sits well within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme, offering a sensitive, craft-driven contribution to stories about ability and resilience. It is a thoughtful piece that highlights the power of form and texture to convey feeling, and it shows how animation can open new conversations around mental health.
