15/67: TV

Kurt Kren | Austria | 1967 | 4' |

| IFFR 2007

Instead of operating primarily at the kinetic level, or with rapid perceptual rhythm, this film involves the audience in a conceptual and reflexive process. Five short sequences, each about eight frames long, are all shot from the same viewpoint in a quay-side cafe. They show a window, broken by the silhouettes of objects and people inside the cafe and by the passage of people and a ship outside. Each shot containing some small movement is repeated in the film 21 times, in a mathematically determined order. The significance does not lie in the mathematical sequences as such, but in how the viewer attempts to decipher the structure. (Malcolm Le Grice)
