Battle of the Colour

About this Short Film

Battle of the Colour (St Edmund's College, Australia, 2023) is a short film that explores achievement, motivation and the everyday challenges faced by young people with congenital and cognitive processing disabilities. Rather than offering a single storyline, it invites viewers to consider group dynamics, collaboration and the simple joys that come from working together. Hints of rainbow imagery and school life add warmth and colour. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film celebrates ability, resilience and teamwork, and showcases the talents and perspectives of teenagers on their own terms.

Film Transcript

I love The Colour by Love and Joy. Today in English we are learning about Romeo and Juliet. I hate English. English is so boring. Let's go to Rainbow World, it's so fun. Yes, anything is better than English. I want to go to Rainbow World. Let's go this way. Are you sure it's this way? There it is. Oh no, look at the sign. No rainbow ticket, no entry. Please see ticket keepers to collect rainbow tickets. I'm going to find a ticket. Where are the tickets? Where is the ticket collector? There, there it is. I'm going to tick it like her. Can we have a rainbow ticket please? So, free windows. No. Let's try. Rainbow World has a fantastic club. I know, a clock. I have wings, I am able to fly. I'm not a bird yet. I score high in the sky. I'm flying. I follow you all the time. I copy your every move. Can't touch me or catch me, what am I? My shadow. Well done, it's the rainbow ticket. Thank you. Hello, I have heard that you would like a rainbow ticket. How do you know? I know all. I will say a joke and you must make the last one even get to the top. You have three chances. Let's do this. What do you call a rainbow that doesn't come up? A stick. Two people fell out of the jar onto the floor. What did one say to the other? Deal with it. Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Because the chicken wasn't born yet. You have passed the challenge. Here is your ticket. Thanks. Look, there is the final ticket. Easy peasy. I think it's going to be harder than I thought. Dad, this is short. Welcome to the rainbow world. Have a nice time. Please subscribe to my channel.
