About this Short Film
Susie Forster’s The Incidental Blacksmith (Australia, 2021) is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Careful and humane, it explores themes of communication, Auslan, deafness, employment, family and the experience of sensory disability. The work attends to moments of individual isolation and connection without presuming a single story, inviting viewers to consider how work and family life intersect with access and identity. Recommended for adult audiences, the film sits comfortably within our program’s aim to highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability, and to open conversations about inclusion and everyday life.
