About this Short Film
The Girl (2020), directed by Jared Hargreaves, is an Australian short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than spelling out a narrative, this work invites viewers to consider themes of achievement, autism, cognitive processing disability and frustration as they relate to teenagers and young people. Quiet and attentive in tone, the film offers a personal perspective on individual experience and the small victories that can mean a great deal. As part of our festival, The Girl sits alongside films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability, and it encourages thoughtful conversation among audiences.
