About this Short Film
Patrick's Palette (2025) by Patrick Francis is a thoughtful short film from Australia that addresses themes of art, authorship, individuality and the experiences of people with intellectual disability. It invites viewers to reflect on creativity, self-expression and what it means to be an author of your own work, without giving easy answers. Gentle in tone and attentive to detail, the film sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival's programme of works that highlight abilities, perspectives and achievements of people with disability. A quiet, rewarding film for audiences interested in art and the many ways people make themselves seen.
