About this Short Film
Sight Unseen, by James Chan (Australia, 2025), offers a subtle, sensory-led portrait of blindness and collective experience. Through its focus on music and group interaction the film invites viewers to reconsider assumptions about sight and sound. Without prescribing a single narrative it attends to ways people with sensory disability navigate, communicate and create together. The camera and sound design emphasise listening as much as looking, so moments of rhythm and silence feel vivid. Presented in Focus on Ability, Sight Unseen sits comfortably alongside films that highlight capability, resilience and creativity. It is a quiet, attentive work that rewards careful watching and listening.
