Against the Light

About this Short Film

Against the Light, a 2022 short film by Philmon Kuipa (Malawi), looks at how we see one another. The film threads together themes of bullying, group dynamics, perception and viewpoint, and touches on photography as a means of seeing. It also raises questions about physical disability and the experience of young adults finding their place. Shown in the Focus on Ability festival, this short film sits alongside works that highlight the abilities, experiences and resilience of people with disability. Kuipa's work invites audiences to rethink who is framed and who is overlooked, asking us to consider what it means to be seen.
