About this Short Film
Giant Steps Tasmania’s Man (Australia, 2022) is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores themes of autism and cognitive processing disability, and considers how young people experience school, group life and personal change.

Quiet and attentive, Man offers a sensitive look at development and difference, inviting audiences to recognise ability, resilience and community. It is a thoughtful contribution to the festival’s celebration of the achievements and everyday experiences of people with disability.
