About this Short Film
What’s in a Name (Ian Heydon, Australia, 2021) is a short film in our Focus on Ability programme that examines how language and labels shape everyday life. The film speaks to themes of cognitive processing disability, mobility and inclusion, and raises thoughtful questions about how we address and recognise one another. It does not prescribe answers, but invites viewers to notice the small moments where titles and words matter. Gentle and observant, this entry contributes to our festival’s aim of celebrating diverse perspectives and prompting conversations about respect, accessibility and individuality. Suitable for audiences interested in language, identity and inclusion.
