About this Short Film
The Light of Darkness (2025), by Tewedros Tekilay from Ethiopia, is a short film screening at the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Rather than offering a single narrative, it explores themes of accident, blindness and the realities of medical and sensory disability through the perspective of young people. The film takes a patient, observant approach to individual experience, noting moments of challenge, discovery and achievement without reducing its subjects to labels. Quiet and attentive, it asks viewers to consider how adolescents adapt to change and find strength in community and self. This piece aligns with our programme to champion work that highlights ability, resilience and lived experience.
