About this Short Film
The New Balls (Henbury School, Australia, 2023) is a tender short from a school community that looks at individuality and the small, joyful ways people express themselves. Set in a school environment, the film uses playdough as a visual and tactile element to explore creativity, learning and personal choice. It offers quiet, honest moments that invite viewers to notice the skills, humour and resilience of young people. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work celebrates ability and difference without grand statements. It encourages us to pay attention to everyday acts of making, belonging and self expression.
