Wordless Thought

2026 · dir. Sophie Stöckemann · Music and sound design

A film about the small rituals people use to move from the tension of a day into calm. It is built almost entirely from texture, object and gesture, with no dialogue and very little event, which meant the sound had to carry the whole transition the film describes. The audio had to feel like decompression happening in real time rather than music placed on top of images of it.
