About this Short Film

Disability is not Inability, by Ben Ryman (Malawi, 2022), is a short film that explores themes of blindness, sensory disability and the power of music among young adults. Presented as part of Focus on Ability, the film highlights group connection, creativity and shared song without assuming a single storyline. Its focus on sound and communal moments invites audiences to experience how music can shape identity and belonging. We are pleased to include this film in our programme for its uplifting tone and its celebration of ability, talent and everyday resilience. A warm, thoughtful piece that asks viewers to listen with fresh ears.

The film carries a strong message. It gives hope to the people with disability. It's a motivation to those who look down upon themselves because of their physical condition. The concept is very unique
