2025 Atlanta Documentary Film Festival

Strong Enough Shorts Program #6

Screening Sunday, March 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM

Get Passes

Tainted by the Visual

Director Laura Calzada

Documentary Short - United Kingdom - 8 min. 


This short experimental documentary explores how the experience of sound changes throughout the process of vision loss, using visual and aural language to interpret the subjective experience of blind individuals.

After Heather

Director Clint Butler

Documentary Short - Canada - 22 min. 


The life journey of a Canadian dancer before and after acquiring a severe traumatic brain injury. 

Perseids

Director Laurence Lévesque

Documentary Short - Canada - 22 min. 


Julie knows that she will lose her sight. She doesn't know when it will happen, but it is imminent. Supported by her great friend Marina, she confronts the destabilizing journey towards darkness.

Simple Machine

Director Sara Hendren

Documentary Short - USA - 23 min. 


Part portrait of an architect who became an amputee in midlife, and part meditation on the beauty and challenges of classical mechanics in the ingenious tools of our everyday lives. The film reframes assistive technologies in the adapted wood shop of one man, but it also sets his story against the history of post-war prosthetics, industrial manufacturing, and the irreducible complexity of life with machines.

SALT

Director Alice Ward

Documentary Short - Ireland - 12 min. 


This is a short film exploring the role salt has played throughout filmmaker, Alice Ward’s life. From her mother noticing her skin was unusually salty at birth which led to a diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis to Alice becoming the first woman in Ireland to start shooting in the water to capture surfing from a female perspective.
