About this Short Film

#Cognitive Processing Disability #Congenital Disability #Dance #Group #Intellectual Disability #Isolation #Perception, Viewpoint #Song #Young Adult

Options Theatre Company’s Remote (Australia, 2022) uses movement, song and group performance to explore perception, isolation and viewpoint for young adults with cognitive processing, congenital and intellectual disabilities. Rather than telling a single narrative, the film presents moments of dance and music that invite viewers to consider how people experience and make sense of the world. Its ensemble approach highlights communal rhythms and individual perspectives, sometimes fragile, sometimes bold. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Remote complements the program by showcasing creative practice led by and with people with disability. It is a thoughtful, sensory piece that asks us to listen closely and see differently.

Film Transcript

Though I saw it all around, never thought that I could be affected I thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night towards my home, the place where I was born On the lakeside, as daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up, you still have us Don't give up, we don't need much of anything Don't give up, cause somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head, you worry too much It's gonna be alright When times get rough, you can fall back on us Don't give up, please don't give up Got to walk out of here, cause I can't take it anymore Got to step down that bridge, keep my eyes down below Whatever may come, and whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing That river's flowing Thanks for watching!
