About this Short Film
We are pleased to present Self-portait with Marcos Santos, a 2022 short from Brazilian filmmaker Zoran Djordjevic. Poised between art and personal reflection, this gentle film explores themes of congenital and physical disability through an adult lens. It offers an intimate look at creativity, body and identity without prescribing a single reading. Shot with close attention to mood and detail, it invites viewers to consider the ways people shape and represent themselves. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it complements our programme by celebrating individual expression and the varied capacities of people with disability. A quiet, thoughtful piece that rewards attentive viewing.

A worthy example of perseverance and willpower. Marcos is a true Santos. What an inspiration. A glimpse through a window of hope.I wish he would paint himself painting through the window with the dog and the bicycle in the same frame.
