About this Short Film
Desolate, by Murat Vargelci (United States, 2025), offers a quietly observational short that explores solitude, perception and mental health from a young adult viewpoint. Rather than spelling out a narrative, it invites viewers to sit with the mood and the small details that shape how we see ourselves and others. Its keen focus on individual experience makes it a fitting piece for the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, which celebrates the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. Expect a subtle, intimate work that prompts reflection on loneliness and how changing perspective alters what we notice and what we feel.
