Killing Time: The Science of Boredom
October 19 @ 10:30
Germany, 2025 | 52 min.
Being bored is one of the best things you can do for yourself in the 21st century.
Repetition is ever-present, life seems to lack meaning, and one feels insignificant. Apathy, melancholy, exhaustion—the same concept under different names. Boredom is a spectrum on which everyone has found themselves at some point. In everyday moments, such as folding laundry, taking a bus, or performing work that has lost its purpose, it becomes a silent companion. The film explores boredom, its causes, and how people cope to avoid frustration and maintain mental balance.
