About this Short Film
Martin Mkandawire’s The Capital Rhythms (Malawi, 2021) joins our Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival with a sensory exploration of blindness and city life. The film investigates themes of sensory disability, employment, family and group dynamics, with music woven throughout as a vital element. Rather than prescribing one view, it opens space to notice how people navigate work, relationships and public spaces, and what inclusion can mean in an urban setting. Presented for adult audiences, The Capital Rhythms aligns with the festival’s aim to celebrate ability, resilience and shared creativity. It is a quietly powerful piece that will stay with viewers.
