Leerstelle

About This Movie

Leerstelle is an intriguing piece, really. It’s not your typical narrative-driven animation. Instead, it takes this poetic route, engaging with the concept of 'HOME' in a very abstract manner. The way they use Hilde Domin's poems is something else—fragments that feel like whispers, layered over these almost ephemeral sketches. The sound design complements this beautifully, creating this atmosphere of uncertainty and transience. It’s a bit slow, but that’s part of its charm. You get lost in the visuals and the fragmented thoughts, a collage that feels incomplete yet deeply resonant. It’s a film that invites reflection rather than consumption, making it quite distinct in the animation landscape.

Highly experimental approach to animation.Focus on poetic fragments rather than linear storytelling.Atmosphere is haunting and introspective.
