About this Short Film
The Spectrum (John Paul College, Australia, 2025) is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores themes of autism and cognitive processing disability within a school setting, looking at group dynamics and the experiences of teenagers. The film uses honest, everyday moments to reflect on how young people relate to one another and to the structures around them. Without assuming a single storyline, it invites audiences to consider the strengths, challenges and social textures that shape school life for children with diverse needs. A thoughtful and respectful addition to this year’s programme.
