About this Short Film
DAD, directed by Riley Eli Jones, is a 2024 Australian short that quietly explores themes of brain cancer, memory, family and loss. The film considers how a serious medical diagnosis reshapes everyday life and relationships, touching on issues of parenthood, medical disability and grief. It looks at the small, human moments that remain after prognosis and treatment, and invites viewers to sit with memory and uncertainty. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, DAD adds a thoughtful, intimate voice to the programme, highlighting the experiences and resilience of people living with disability and their families.
