I'm Still Me (2020), film still

About this Short Film

Isaac Doman's I'm Still Me (Australia, 2020) is a short, candid film that balances humour with heart. It draws attention to perception and viewpoint while touching on dementia, Parkinsons and stimming, and how those experiences shape identity. Rather than offering easy answers, the film uses comedy to open space for quieter moments of reflection, inviting viewers to consider what remains constant when health and memory change. Presented in the Focus on Ability program, it contributes a warm, human perspective on adult experience and medical disability. Recommended for audiences who appreciate films that are thoughtful, honest and gently funny.

I loved this short filmdocumentary. The use of humour really humanised Parkinsons Disease and garnered a sense of empathy rather than sympathy. The Trump reference was a hoot
