About this Short Film
Joanna Nash's Mighty Zac (Australia, 2020) is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The piece brings together a dog, an individual and a wheel device to reflect on paralysis and physical disability. Rather than telling a conventional story, it invites viewers to notice small moments of care, movement and adaptation. The filmmaking is attentive to everyday detail, offering quiet textures and plainspoken observations. Screened as part of our programme that highlights abilities and experiences, Mighty Zac gives audiences space to consider mobility, companionship and resilience in ways that are simple, warm and honest.
