About this Short Film
Level 2, from Matraville Sports High School (Australia, 2020), is a short film that explores themes around feelings, group dynamics and how people see one another. It looks at miscommunication and differing viewpoints within a school context, and considers the role of physical disability and wheelchair use in everyday interactions. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film offers a chance to reflect on young adult experiences and the small moments that shape understanding. Warm and thoughtful, it encourages conversation about inclusion, perception and the ways groups respond when voices and needs are not always heard.

Seriously, have you ever seen anyone in a wheelchair before? It's 2020. Get a grip. What's wrong with this lady? Don't you realise I have feelings too, just like everyone else.
Did she just snort? Oh my gosh, did he hear that? I mean, he did giggle like a child. She's cute. He's cute. You.

Great short film team Loved it
Great short film jam packed with enlightening content. Very professional and entertaining.
I enjoyed this film. People can be very judgemental of others who are different in some way. But when paths cross more than once peoplensyart to find common ground and begin to accept differences in other. This film shows education empathy and equity are what is needed to ensure acceptance of other people.
Great job well done
