Cold Call

Filmforum, Germany 2025, 16 Min., engl. OV, ger. st

The filmmaker is struggling with heartbreak and writer’s block at an artists’ residence in Eckernförde – until the old phone rings. A call centre voice tells her that the computer is broken. It's a scam, and yet it’s a comforting conversation between strangers in this digitally cross-linked and globally inequitable world.

The film is part of the short film programme Filmforum Shorts: Establishing Connections.
