Breaking Boundaries, directed by Kizito Gamba (Kenya, 2023), is presented in the Focus on Ability programme. The short explores themes of achievement, attitude and inclusion, drawing on hip-hop and dance to reflect on motivation and individuality. It speaks to the experiences of children and teenagers living with physical disability and amputation, inviting audiences to reconsider common assumptions about ability. The film offers a fresh Kenyan perspective within the festival’s line-up, using movement and youthful energy to open a conversation about participation, resilience and self-expression. A concise, affecting piece that complements our celebration of diverse talents and voices.
Dance, make a move. Kick. Slide. When I say change, dance, make love, fun. Slide. I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you. I love you. Glow bila dance si glow. Dance, make a move. Dance ni glow. Enye tu nakusanga kuenda dance ni maybe tujua mbu. Venye sai, kama ni kona kidonda, siyeze ndani dance juta kwa worse. So inabidi tu nikai home kwanza niponi kiasi alafu nirudi. Kama saiso nalimbika wiki mbili kasi gender dance. Juu daktari mwenye alimtengene za mgu. Mbali, dada aliongia na ya, kase ma. Ata, as in tuongoje kiasi, anarudi, but akufa. But kama ngekua, ngekua nisha ato ngenezewa. But nuna saya kumbali, itabidi nime mwongoja. As in watu wenge utuko yu advantage kusema, mi neza kushinda juu as in ni kona mgumbili, na we as in ni kona one and a half. So mi na, as in nakanga ya sema ni aache, ni si aache, but najipianga tu yu ngubu na sema lazima nita make. Yu feeling na yu believe nye neza, as in neza dance bila kusumbulua na mgu.
