About this Short Film
Tesfa (2023), directed by Binyam Tesfaye, comes from Ethiopia and joins our Focus on Ability programme. The film explores the fallout of conflict and the experience of living with physical disability, touching on PTSD, suicidal thoughts and the realities of adults and young adults who use wheelchairs or have amputations. It speaks to group dynamics and contains quiet, intense moments that refuse simple answers. Tesfa offers an honest, human look at resilience, care and the daily decisions people face after injury and loss. It sits comfortably within our festival’s commitment to films that highlight ability, dignity and shared experience.
