About this Short Film
The Very Stripy Dachshund, by Lisa Gilmer, is a short Australian film from 2022 included in our Focus on Ability programme. Intended for adult audiences, it explores ideas around difference, individuality and physical disability, and gestures towards themes of authorship and books. The film does not offer easy answers. Instead it asks viewers to linger in small, revealing moments and to think about how identity and creativity meet when bodies are read as different. Shown alongside other works that celebrate the abilities and achievements of people with disability, this short brings a quiet, thoughtful voice to the festival lineup.
