This is Me

About this Short Film

Presented by Barellan Central School, This is Me (Australia, 2018) offers a thoughtful look at perception, identity and mental health within a school setting. The short film explores themes including autism, anorexia and the individual experience of mental illness, inviting viewers to consider different viewpoints without assuming a single story. Gentle and observant in tone, it fits naturally within the Focus on Ability festival’s aim to showcase abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. This is Me encourages reflection and conversation, making it a valuable addition to a programme that celebrates diverse perspectives and the ways we see one another.
