About this Short Film
Mind Notes, directed by Ganimete Sava (Kosovo, 2026), follows 14‑year‑old Vilion Paloja in a first‑person account of learning to trust himself, develop his piano practice and build a music‑centred life. The film adopts an intimate, candid tone as Vilion reflects on early doubt, the steady support of his family and his commitment to persistent practice; he speaks directly about the experience of being a young person on the autism spectrum and the importance of belief and routine. Mind Notes will appeal to young adults, families, educators and audiences interested in music and lived experience, offering a grounded, hopeful portrait of growth, agency and artistic aspiration—an apt contribution to the Focus on Ability festival.
