Unterbrochen / Cut Off, Somehow
Animated Documentary Short / 5 Min / 2026
Unterbrochen / Cut Off, Somehow reflects on the experience of being interrupted and its often overlooked presence in everyday communication.
Through the personal reflections of twelve-year-old Tilda, documentary narration, digital collage, animation, and moving image intertwine to create an associative visual language. In dialogue with Jens Heuler's score, drawing on principles of musique concrète, the film reflects on voice, attention, and the experience of being heard.
Without accusation, it observes the subtle dynamics that shape expression, agency, and human interaction.
Direction, Animation & Digital Collage: Pola Rader
With: Tilda Reifenroth
