So You See

About this Short Film

So You See (Shayne Rudd & Mark Halupka, Australia 2023) reflects on how we view ability and work. Using an interview framework, the short considers perception, viewpoint and the employment-related barriers people with physical disability can face. It highlights issues of prejudice, stereotypes and stigma while giving space to individual experience, including perspectives from young adults and wheelchair users. Calm and direct, the film fits within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme, which champions films that showcase abilities, experiences and achievements. A thoughtful, concise piece that prompts viewers to reconsider assumptions about capability and inclusion.
