About this Short Film
Chilot (Eshetu Mengstu, Ethiopia, 2024) is a short film included in our Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Although spare on details, the film addresses powerful themes: achievement, self-belief and self-doubt, and the lived experience of adults with sensory and physical disability, including blindness. Shot with attentiveness, it offers a quiet space to consider how creativity and identity can be shaped by both challenge and determination. Festival audiences will find it a thoughtful contribution to conversations about ability, motivation and the ways people adapt and persist. A subtle, resonant work that sits comfortably within the festival’s celebration of diverse voices.
