About this Short Film
Plus One (2019), directed by Abdullah Sahin from Turkey, offers an intimate look at themes around childhood, cognitive processing differences and Down syndrome. Rather than narrating a plot, the short invites viewers into a sensory, individual perspective, attending to how a young person experiences the world. The film pays close attention to senses and learning, suggesting small moments of discovery, frustration and joy. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Plus One contributes to our program by highlighting the abilities, everyday achievements and unique perspectives of people with intellectual and sensory disabilities. A thoughtful, quietly curious piece, it asks audiences to slow down and notice.
