About this Short Film
Looking Past the Wheelchair, by Mountain Creek State High School (Australia, 2021), is a school-made short that reflects on inclusion, achievement and the everyday realities of people with congenital and physical disabilities, including spina bifida. Rather than presenting a single plot, the film offers moments from school, sport and work life, and examines the effects of bullying and the role of teachers and peers. Its honest, student-led perspective asks audiences to look beyond assumptions and recognise capability. Screened in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it joins other works that celebrate achievement, promote access and encourage respectful, practical change.
