About this Short Film
Under Heavy Rock (Martin Mkandawire, Malawi, 2020) joins our Focus on Ability programme as a thoughtful short that reflects on achievement, community and creativity in a village setting. The film uses striking visual motifs, including paints, the mouth and group interactions, alongside honest portrayals of physical disability and mobility, including wheelchair use. Mkandawire invites viewers to consider everyday skills and shared moments rather than dramatic spectacle. Presented as part of our international shorts, it complements the festival's focus on highlighting the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. A compact, quietly powerful piece that prompts reflection and conversation.
