About this Short Film
The Running Boy (John McGlashan College, New Zealand, 2019) offers a thoughtful, accessible look at themes of achievement, inclusion and living with cerebral palsy. Framed by tags that point to school, sport and teenage life, it sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability program, which highlights the abilities and achievements of people with disability. The film does not need a long explanation to matter; instead it invites viewers to consider what success, participation and belonging can mean for young people with congenital and physical disability. Short and direct, it complements the festival’s wider conversation about accessibility, teamwork and the everyday moments that shape identity.
