About this Short Film
Dream, Study, Action! (Joe Teakle, Australia, 2019) is a short film featured in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than telling a conventional story, it explores themes around accident and brain injury, intellectual and physical disability, medical support, inclusion and university life. The film uses filmmaking itself as part of the conversation, offering a thoughtful, human look at young adults negotiating study, creativity and identity. It sits comfortably within our programme, giving audiences a chance to reflect on access, agency and the varied abilities of individuals. A concise, respectful piece that invites questions rather than providing easy answers.
