About this Short Film
MONA, by Lucca Messer (Brazil, 2025), is a short film presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. With a focus on achievement, acting and inclusion, it explores questions around medical disability, neuromyelitis optica and life as an adult with a physical impairment. The film touches on prejudice, stereotypes and the stigma people in wheelchairs often face, asking viewers to reconsider common assumptions. Quietly measured and respectfully observed, MONA contributes a personal and timely perspective to conversations about representation and access. It is a welcome addition to our programme, inviting audiences to listen, learn and reflect.
