Don't Guffaw at a Dinosaur

About this Short Film

Don't Guffaw at a Dinosaur (Tracey Hicks, Australia, 2020) offers a thoughtful, intimate look at how perception and viewpoint shape our understanding of physical disability. Using the lens of a writer and touching on experiences related to spina bifida, the short film invites adult audiences to reconsider assumptions and notice small, human details. Its tone is reflective and humane, fitting well within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival's programme that celebrates the abilities and contributions of people with disability. Presented with care, this piece prompts conversation about individuality, perspective and the ways stories are told and received.
