About this Short Film
Rafael Star's Gemma (Australia, 2019) explores themes of anxiety, congenital and intellectual disability, dating and family life from a young adult perspective. The film invites viewers to rethink assumptions about ability, isolation and motivation, and offers moments that feel both honest and quietly hopeful. Without prescribing answers, Gemma raises questions about perception and point of view and the ways people connect in group and personal settings. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it complements our programme by highlighting the everyday strengths and challenges faced by people with disability.
