About this Short Film
The Ability Of Possibilities (Trinity College Colac, Australia, 2017) is a short school documentary that listens in on a classroom conversation about ability and the ways people use different senses to engage with the world. Filmed from a student-led perspective, it introduces Jasmine, who is blind, and highlights how she and her classmates explore touch, listening and practical strategies like guide dogs to navigate everyday life. Warm, conversational and educational in tone, the film invites viewers to rethink assumptions and notice strengths without stigma. It will be valuable for teachers, students and community audiences seeking accessible, person-centred perspectives on inclusion and belonging as part of the Focus on Ability festival programme.

What would it be like? A kibbeh light is my story, one piece. I'm stable set Apes. Take it here: listen, talk, touch, tape, light up. They can use their other senses to move around, and they can use touch to read.
This is Jasmine. She has a disability. Her disability is blindness, but that does not stop her from doing everything she does, many things. In her future she will be getting a guide dog to help her around the town and in other places like Melbourne and Geelong. Also at school at Trinity College Cola — in this, well, she is going to be an independent young lady and I know she would do great things in the future.
