Stuttering Fluidity
(90 min, 2026, in development)
The Netherlands, France, Bosnia & Herzegovina, USA
,,Stuttering Fluidity,, is a type of gentle road-movie full of double commas, full of little worlds, full of beginnings and endings. A double comma does what the period cannot: an open ending, a little bump, a slight interruption; it alters times and holds the word, and sometimes the entire sentence, in mid-air, like a stutter.
As the narrative drifts along rivers, lakes, memories and dreams to explore stuttering—not merely as a speech disorder, but as a poetic and political force, disrupting language, time, and masculinity. With a camera in hand and haunted by the forgotten languages of childhood, the filmmaker journeys across geographies and generations, searching for the origins of his stutter, encountering and spending time with men and children whose speech—and lives—have been shaped by hesitation, trauma, and tenderness.
