About this Short Film

Yared Seven (2023), by Ethiopian filmmaker Bereket Getu, is a short that sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. With a homemade aesthetic and an individual perspective, the film explores themes around physical disability, prosthetics and life as a young adult following amputation. It offers a quiet, direct look at everyday realities and the small, inventive ways people adapt. Bereket Getu’s work contributes to a broader conversation about ability without prescribing a single viewpoint. This short is a modest, thoughtful piece that complements the festival’s aim to showcase the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.
