About this Short Film
Akukulu, by Nafetalem Jote (Ethiopia, 2022), screens in the Focus on Ability programme. The short film explores themes of perception, inclusion and play, inviting viewers to consider how sensory disability shapes group life for children and teenagers. Rather than laying out a fixed story, it offers moments that highlight viewpoint, interaction and the everyday experience of being seen and understood. Quiet and observant, the film sits comfortably within our festival’s aim to showcase the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Akukulu encourages audiences to reflect on difference, belonging and the many ways young people connect.
