This Is Our Life (St John The Evangelist Catholic School, Australia, 2023) is a short film that explores friendships, group life and shared hobbies within a school setting. Through honest moments and everyday skills, it highlights inclusion and the talents of teenagers with intellectual disability. The film does not tell a single story so much as present experiences and connections that matter to the young people involved. Warm and straightforward in tone, it offers viewers a chance to see familiar school rituals and friendships from a fresh perspective. A fitting addition to the Focus on Ability festival, it celebrates ability, participation and community.
