About this Short Film
Copy of a copy (Carl Thompson, Australia, 2020) is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. With a quiet, attentive eye, it explores themes of individual identity, isolation, the bond between a young adult and their pet, and life with a physical disability, including use of a wheelchair. Where the narrative details are spare, the film's mood and images ask viewers to consider daily routines, small comforts and the subtle work of care and independence. This piece sits comfortably within our programme, offering a thoughtful addition to a festival that celebrates the abilities and experiences of people with disability.

So well done - a film about monotony - yet interesting and compelling. The everyday touches told a powerful story and the music was perfect.
Great lyrics very apt choice. Your use of repetition in the video especially the hoisting on and off the bed is very powerful and resonates with everyone I'm sure. Well done.
Powerful story Great choice of music it sets the tempo beautifully and tells the story at the same time.. Great use of fast forward technique - you were able to tell an enduring story succinctly. Perfect short film in every respect
