Short Film Review: FRAGILE. Directed by Lucas Buchholz, Bernd Brink

Every day, millions of packages are shipped, billions of messages are sent—our world seems more connected than ever. Even in the most remote corners of the planet, we are within reach. But have we truly come closer to one another?

Review by Andie Kay:

There are films that will give you a breadcrumb trail to follow and guide the viewer on a journey.
Then, there are other films where the viewer gets to decide what message is being articulated
by the filmmakers. That’s the beauty of art. It’s subjective. Fragile is one of those films where the
viewer gets to decide what it means to them.


Completely generated by A.I., the film was very slick and polished. The use of selective coloring
and creativity within the edits holds your interest but it’s the high energy techno music that
stands out and how edit follows the beat. Yet, there are no credits at the end of the film which is
oddly unsettling. It’s as if Skynet is about wage war and wipe out the human race.


I loved the pace of the film and going by looks alone, this was outstandingly beautiful. Musically
it amplified the cool factor of the whole piece. The message behind Fragile? You get to unravel
that and see what it means to you. And remember, the future’s not set. There is no fate but what
we make for ourselves.
