About this Short Film
More than a Fairytale (CPL Hi Studios, Australia, 2025) invites viewers into an intimate consideration of art, performance and identity among young adults with Down syndrome and other intellectual and cognitive processing disabilities. Gentle and respectful in its approach, the film highlights individual creativity and the challenges and joys of performing. It sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, where stories of skill, resilience and everyday achievement are celebrated. Presented by CPL Hi Studios, this short offers a bright, humane portrait that broadens how we think about ability and artistic expression. A thoughtful addition to this year’s programme.
