About this Short Film
Breaking News (2025) from The Compass Institute Caloundra is a short Australian film that brings a fresh, comedic tone to themes of cognitive processing disability and Down syndrome. Rather than fitting a single narrative, the film offers moments that speak to group connection, everyday humour and the strengths of young adults with intellectual disability. Presented as part of Focus on Ability, it joins other works that celebrate ability, creativity and community while challenging assumptions. Light on jargon and rich in personality, this short is an approachable and uplifting piece that festival audiences will appreciate for its warmth, honesty and sense of fun.
