About this Short Film
Silent Stars, from Spectrum Film School (Kenya, 2024), offers a quietly powerful exploration of Deaf young people and sensory disability within a school setting. Shot with sensitivity, the short film invites viewers to notice group dynamics, communication, and the everyday ways teenagers navigate belonging and difference. Without prescribing a single point of view, the film opens space to consider ability, friendship and youth life in a Kenyan context. It sits comfortably in our Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival programme, which celebrates films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. A thoughtful, human portrait that asks us to look and listen in new ways.
