(auto-translated from Dutch Dutch)
In this absurd satire, a young dreamer refuses to play along any longer with the beat of a rigid recorder lesson.
'Out of Tune' is a short film by director Sem Beex. Out of Tune is about children growing up with a brain that works differently: not
worse, not weaker, but different. It is often these children who are the first to clash and get stuck in a school system designed for performance, efficiency, and uniformity. While school is intended as a place to learn, for them it quickly becomes an environment where
Sitting still and staying within the lines are considered more important than curiosity or expression. Impulses and creativity are interpreted as disturbances that need to be corrected. *Uit de maat* argues that what is labeled as “too dreamy,” “too busy,” and “too much” are not deviations, but indications of a unique source of strength and imagination. For me, this is not a distant theme. I have ADHD, and for a long time, school felt like a place where I mainly learned that I was doing things wrong. Before I knew where my struggles came from, misunderstanding and self-hatred grew alongside them: why did “simple” things cost me so much energy, why did the approach that was self-evident to others seem impossible to me time and again?
Out of Tune is my attempt to overhaul that system. To celebrate individuality. To show how beautiful it is to let yourself go in an environment that doesn't always allow it. I believe that by watching my film, everyone can rediscover a forgotten part of themselves and ask themselves, “Why did I actually put out that fire?”
