About this Short Film
Polybious (2023), directed by Sandon Hale, is an Australian short presented at the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The film approaches themes of anxiety, isolation and perception, and reflects on sensory disability and deaf experience alongside elements of teen life and video games. It offers a subjective viewpoint on fear and vulnerability, using sound and image to shape how we see and feel. Audience members should note there are moments of blood and intense emotion. As part of our festival, Polybious contributes a distinct, sensory-driven piece that invites viewers to consider how different abilities change everyday experience.
