About this Short Film
THE little THINGS (Dane Noonan, Australia, 2021) offers a quietly observant look at identity and ability. The short film addresses themes of dwarfism, physical and medical disability, sleep apnoea and the adult experience of audition. It focuses on individual perspective and the small, often overlooked moments that shape daily life. Presented with care and clarity, this work fits comfortably within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, which champions films about the abilities and achievements of people with disability. A thoughtful addition to the programme, it invites audiences to consider access, dignity and the variety of lived experience.
