About this Short Film
Forgiving Dad (Chris Donnelly, Australia, 2022) appears in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The short takes a thoughtful look at themes of forgiveness, bullying, illness and changing viewpoints across generations. It asks audiences to reflect on how perception and group dynamics affect relationships between adults, teenagers and children. Rather than spelling out a plot here, the film is presented for the ways it prompts conversation about care, responsibility and understanding in situations that involve disability. Quiet and observant, Forgiving Dad complements the festival’s mission to showcase diverse experiences and the abilities and resilience of people with disability.
