About this Short Film

#Achievement #Blind #Child #Finding Your Place #Group #Motivation #Perception, Viewpoint #Sensory Disability #Teenager Child #Walk #Young Adult

Loki and Me (Thrive Support Services, Australia, 2023) explores perception, belonging and achievement through a youthful perspective. This short reflects on experiences of sensory disability and blindness without assuming a fixed narrative. It highlights moments of motivation, group connection and the small acts that help a young person find their place. Gentle and thoughtful, the film asks us to reconsider viewpoint and how others are seen and know themselves. Included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Loki and Me adds a fresh voice to conversations about accessibility, adolescence and community, and will appeal to audiences interested in inclusion and awareness.
