About this Short Film
Damian Zammit’s My Brother, Jerk (Australia, 2024) offers a thoughtful, human look at themes of achievement, family and disability. Quiet and observant, the short considers adult relationships and group dynamics where congenital, cerebral and physical differences are present, and where diagnoses may be unclear or still unfolding. It does not tell a single definitive story, but rather invites viewers to sit with the realities and small victories that shape everyday life. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this film complements the program’s commitment to showcasing the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.
