About this Short Film
The Black Dog (Manurewa Intermediate, New Zealand, 2022) looks at themes of isolation, assistance and the many ways viewpoint shapes experience. Set in the context of school life, it considers how teenagers notice each other, move within groups and sometimes feel alone. With an eye on mental health and perception, the film prompts questions rather than answers, offering space for audiences to reflect. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it contributes a young, local voice to our programme and underlines the festival’s commitment to showcasing the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. A quiet, thoughtful piece that invites conversation.
