My Mistake

About this Short Film

My Mistake, directed by Chala Gemedo (Ethiopia, 2025), appears in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The film explores themes of blindness, perception and viewpoint within a group setting, and attends to the sensory realities of young adults with sensory disability. Rather than offering a conventional narrative summary, it uses atmosphere and point of view to shift how we perceive interactions and misunderstandings. The work invites careful listening and reflection, asking audiences to notice what is seen and what is missed. It sits comfortably among the festival’s selection of films that highlight ability, experience and achievement.
