About this Short Film
"I can't hear but I am here" by Surachet Buakaew (Thailand, 2024) is a quietly powerful short that looks at how society sees and misunderstands sensory disability. The film addresses themes such as prejudice, stigma, bullying and inclusion, and raises questions about education, employment and young people navigating adulthood. It offers a personal viewpoint on how perception shapes opportunity and how small acts of recognition can matter. Part of the Focus on Ability programme, this film sits alongside works that celebrate ability and resilience while challenging assumptions about deafness and difference. Simple, thoughtful and human, it invites viewers to listen differently.
