About this Short Film
Break The Darkness (2024) by Telaviv Ketema of Ethiopia offers a thoughtful look at how young people see and are seen. Set around school life and creative activity, the film explores perceptions and viewpoints within a group of children and teenagers, touching on art, physical disability and wheelchair use. It raises questions about prejudice, stereotypes and the stigma that can shape daily interactions. Quiet and observant, it invites audiences to notice small gestures and shifting attitudes rather than relying on dramatic plot points. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Break The Darkness contributes to a wider conversation about ability, inclusion and youth.
