Berhan

About this Short Film

Berhan, directed by Lamrot Teferi (Ethiopia, 2024), is a short film that examines how young adults understand and respond to sensory disability. Rather than presenting plot details, it invites viewers to consider themes of advocacy, blindness, group dynamics, prejudice, stereotypes and stigma. The film offers a compassionate, clear-eyed look at everyday interactions and the small acts that can challenge assumptions. Included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Berhan sits alongside works that celebrate the abilities and achievements of people with disability. It will appeal to audiences who want films that prompt conversation about inclusion, respect and social change.
