About this Short Film
Naod Akalu's 2021 short 1>2, from Ethiopia, offers a quiet, observant look at themes around adulthood, craft and mobility. Rather than spelling out a plot, the film presents moments that raise questions about work, independence and the social responses to physical disability. Carpentry and issues of theft appear among the film's concerns, inviting reflection on value, labour and trust. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, 1>2 sits alongside other works that celebrate skill, resilience and the everyday choices people with disability face. Short and resonant, it asks viewers to notice detail and reconsider assumptions without prescribing answers.
