About this Short Film
Hilina (Eskinder Abraha, Ethiopia, 2021) Eskinder Abraha’s Hilina invites viewers to reflect on how we see and judge others. The film moves around themes of begging, perception and viewpoint, and raises questions about how groups and communities respond to young adults with physical disability. It does not offer easy answers, but it prompts conversations about authenticity, assumption and compassion. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Hilina sits alongside work that highlights the abilities and experiences of people with disability. Expect a thoughtful, quietly powerful short that asks you to look again at what you think you know.
