About this Short Film
Feathers in the Wind, directed by Danielle McCarthy, is a 2025 Australian short presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than a plot summary, the film offers a reflective look at themes of change, mental health, depression and life with Parkinson's. It considers individual attitude and adaptation without presuming to tell every story. Quiet, honest and unflinching, the work invites viewers to think about how medical disability can shape daily life and identity. Audiences can expect a respectful, human portrayal that sits comfortably within the festival’s program celebrating the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.
