10 Minutes tells the story of Franz Krämer (Roman Boeer de Garcez), who finds himself in a strange waiting room. As he waits endlessly for his name to be called, he is confronted with increasingly absurd and unsettling events. The Kafkaesque short film develops a critical perspective on bureaucratic systems and raises questions about the perception of time, control, and reality within an apparently endless loop of waiting. Directed by Henri Graute, written by Tom Vetter. Cinematography by Stefan Schneiker, shot on the Blackmagic URSA 12K with Sigma High Speed Zoom lenses. The film was produced by NEWAVE Films in collaboration with TH OWL.
The film screened at the 40th Filmfest Osnabrück and the 36th Bilderbeben Bielefeld, where it received the Audience Award and the Jury Prize.
