My Invisible Disability

About this Short Film

Stephanie Thompson's My Invisible Disability (Australia, 2021) explores perception and viewpoint around medical disability. The film invites audiences to reconsider assumptions about ability and vulnerability, and touches on lesser-discussed conditions such as prolapse. It prompts reflection on how we understand disability in group settings and everyday life, and on the gap between private experience and public visibility. Screened in the Focus on Ability programme, it adds a thoughtful, humane voice to conversations about access, dignity and recognition. Thompson's approach is measured and respectful. The short rewards thoughtful viewing and conversation.
