About this Short Film
Daniel Mapando, by Malawian filmmaker Tidzalerana Shelter, is a 2024 short that speaks to the heart of the Focus on Ability festival. The film explores themes of art, deafness, sensory disability and sign language, viewed through a young adult lens. It also touches on the impact of malaria on individuals and communities. Rather than offering a single story, Daniel Mapando presents a personal and visual account of ability, communication and resilience. Festival organisers recommend this short for audiences interested in intimate portrayals of lived experience and the ways art and signing open up new ways of seeing and connecting.
