About this Short Film
The Speechless Dreamer (2020), directed by Bernard Malamula, is a short film from Malawi that addresses themes of deafness, muteness and inclusion. Quiet and observant in tone, it draws attention to the everyday activities and choices faced by children and teenagers living with a sensory disability. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work contributes to our programme by highlighting individual experience and the importance of accessible spaces. It invites audiences to reflect on how communities can support young people with sensory differences, and to appreciate the strengths and perspectives they bring to everyday life.
