About this Short Film
Hussien, directed by Hailachew Hailu (Ethiopia, 2021), is a short film included in this year's Focus on Ability festival. Rather than telling a single story, it offers a sensitive exploration of childhood, adolescence and physical disability within school and peer settings. Viewers will recognise themes of friendship, inclusion, mobility and problem solving as they appear in moments among children and teenagers, often revolving around the presence of crutches and group dynamics. Presented as part of our programme highlighting abilities, experiences and achievements, Hussien invites audiences to consider small solutions and everyday acts of support that shape belonging.
