About this Short Film
The Very Stripy Dachshund - Hoof Scootin' (Lisa Gilmer, Australia, 2025) appears in our Focus on Ability programme as a concise, thoughtful piece that touches on achievement, adulthood, authorship, individuality and physical disability. Filmmaker Lisa Gilmer offers a perspective that invites viewers to consider what success and self-expression mean for an adult with a physical disability. We present the film as part of a selection dedicated to stories that highlight ability, resilience and personal agency. Expect a film that prompts reflection and conversation rather than tidy answers. It is a welcome contribution to a festival committed to broadening how we see capability and creative voice.
