Join your hosts, Heather Elaine Abbott and Zoey Danielson, as they descend into the quiet, aching atmosphere of the German film Sound of Falling. They’re joined by the film’s editor, Evelyn Rack, whose delicate, emotionally attuned approach to shaping the rhythm of the movie was essential in bringing the story’s inner world to the screen.

Sound of Falling traces the fragile lives of its female leads, connected by one farm house, as moments of silence, distance, and connection ripple through time. With a patient eye and a sensitivity to absence as much as presence, the film meditates on memory and the subtle ways people reach for one another across emotional divides.

From sculpting the film’s quiet pacing to honoring the power of stillness within each frame, Evelyn’s editorial voice helps transform quiet gestures into profound emotional resonance. Her work reveals how meaning can emerge not only from what is shown, but from what is carefully left unsaid.
