Fast Film

Virgil Widrich, Fast Film, 2003

The short film is composed of 65,000 photocopied stills from over 400 notable Hollywood feature films from the silent era to the present day (2003). Widrich and his team viewed over 1,200 films selecting images and sequences, which in their photocopied form were folded into three dimentional objects and recomposed and animated into a narrative about the 'codes and conventions of Hollywood narratives'.
