About this Short Film
Ayni (2023), directed by Yabsra Tshome, is a short film from Ethiopia presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Through a quiet, observant lens it explores themes of physical disability, prosthetic use and blindness within group settings and young adulthood. The film does not reduce its subjects to labels; instead it offers moments that reveal skill, humour and everyday negotiation. Festival audiences will find a thoughtful, human portrait that contributes to conversations about access, community and independence. Ayni sits comfortably in our programme as a work that highlights ability and invites viewers to look closely at experience and resilience.
