About this Short Film
Phone call (Genevieve Holder, Australia, 2021) is a short film that quietly explores themes of death, family, medical disability and the experience of young adults after stroke. Holder's piece fits the Focus on Ability festival by giving space to stories that reflect strength, vulnerability and connection within groups and families affected by disability. As part of our selection, Phone call invites viewers to sit with emotional complexity without offering easy answers. It is a thoughtful, carefully observed contribution that complements the festival's program of work by artists who bring visibility to diverse abilities and the everyday realities of living with disability.
