That Old Place, from Giant Steps Tasmania (Australia, 2023), is a short film that leans into a quietly creepy atmosphere while exploring group dynamics within a school setting. The work draws attention to the presence and perspectives of teenagers with intellectual disability without resorting to easy explanations. It is a compact, observational piece that invites viewers to consider how mood, setting and peer relationships shape everyday experience. Shown as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film complements the programme by offering representation and nuance, and by celebrating the talents and contributions of people with disability in a subtle, thoughtful way.
