Screenability

SFF proudly welcomes back the Screenability program, an exciting platform for screen practitioners with disability, in partnership with Screen NSW.

This year, the Festival presents three compelling short films by multi-disciplinary artist Emily Dash, former Youth Paralympian Adam Bowes, and award-winning theatre director Anthea Williams.

Sydney Film Festival gratefully acknowledges Vivienne Selwyn’s generous support of its Disability Inclusion Action Plan and accessibility program.

All films in the Screenability and Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films programs are available to view with closed captions and audio descriptions.
