STATIC
DCP Available“STATIC” is a psychological short film that follows Lise, a woman navigating the quiet but overwhelming weight of anxiety, isolation, and emotional unraveling. Over the course of an ordinary day, routine moments begin to distort as intrusive thoughts, missed connections, and sensory overload blur the line between reality and perception. Through intimate visuals and subtle tension, the film explores the silent battle many people fight internally while appearing composed on the outside.
Set against an atmospheric and emotionally grounded backdrop, “STATIC” captures the feeling of being trapped inside your own mind — searching for calm in a world that never stops moving.
