About this Short Film
Life Without Mum (Clay Antonio, Australia, 2021) is a short film that sits within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme. Though the specifics of plot are kept discreet, the film touches on themes of grief, loss and the everyday realities faced by people with intellectual and congenital disabilities, including Down syndrome. Presented with sensitivity, it offers a space to reflect on how adults with disability experience bereavement and group dynamics. Festival organisers recommend this piece for audiences interested in honest portrayals of loss and community, and for anyone wanting to broaden their understanding of diverse life experiences.
