Wednesday Vs Cinderella (Dalby South State School, Australia, 2023) looks at how young people see one another in school and at camp. The short explores themes of bullying, group dynamics, viewpoint and revenge alongside the experiences of a teenager with cerebral palsy. Made by a school team, the film offers a fresh, honest perspective on how perception can shape relationships and moments of conflict. Presented in the Focus on Ability festival, it joins other works that highlight the abilities and everyday lives of people with disability. This is a thoughtful school-made piece that asks audiences to pay attention to small acts that build or break trust.
In an earlier interview with your parents, they said that they would really like you to make friends, make more friends, they think it would be really good for you. What do you make of this? Yeah, you don't want to know what she made of that. And this is what I get. Hello my new viewers, are you ready to party? If you don't stop I'll change your head off. Meet Cindy. Artist formerly known as Cinderella. Hello, so hashtag free Cindy, is that your name? Just call me Cindy. Hi Cindy, so Cindy tell me how did you come across this opportunity to be an exchange student? Well I was on the internet, duh, duh, duh. Do you have any other words? Yeah, duh. And who's this? It's my sister, I brought her along. Duh, family matters too. Family does matter, that's right, excellent. Do you feel like this was a mistake? Yes. Can you please tell us about this new camp coming up and your philosophy behind it? I am so excited about some of the activities the girls are going to be doing. There is so much bonding and they get to connect with each other over emotions. They all sleep together in the one cabin so they really have to collaborate and work together. There's going to be no isolation, it's all in together. Their emotions are really key. Great, so you're going to get them to talk about their feelings a lot. Over and over again until it's so comfortable for them. That's beautiful. Feelings make me boner. Cindy's so excited, she's one of my star pupils. I'm so proud of her, she's really coming on. And Wednesday, have you hit off a friendship with her so far? No, she's just a pathetic little doodle. I'm going to make her life hell. Good night. Yeah, night night. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. That went well. I like sleep, it's like death but without the commitment. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Magnificent. Maleficent. Why did you do this? I would rather trip myself. We've had word from the camp organisers that things aren't going quite to plan. It's not my first rodeo, so I have a plan. It's going to be perfect. It's going to be perfect. And she is my sister. What? And he is my father. And he is my father. The whole thing has worked. It was incredible. More family to be enjoyed.
