About this Short Film
Truly Proud, directed by Yiana Pandelis (Australia, 2019), appears in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than giving a plot summary, this short asks audiences to consider acceptance, group belonging and inclusion through the prism of pride, perception and a young adult viewpoint. It touches on mental health and how different perspectives shape our responses to difference. Quiet and assured, Truly Proud offers a thoughtful, respectful take that sits well within the festival’s commitment to showcasing the abilities and achievements of people with disability. Recommended for viewers who appreciate honest, human work about community and identity.
