About this Short Film
I/O, by Carl Hansen (United States, 2019), is a short film in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme. Through a compact, observational lens it attends to perception and viewpoint, bringing together themes such as Down syndrome, physical disability, young adulthood, group dynamics, wheelchairs and robots. The film does not fit neat labels; instead it offers moments that invite viewers to reconsider assumptions about ability and community. Shot and paced with care, I/O prompts quiet reflection and conversation. It is a thoughtful addition to a programme that celebrates diverse experiences and the many ways people navigate the world.
