100 km/h, 100 photos/4 h 28 min. \ Mattias Cantzler \ Norway
#shortfilm see it in seconds!
Mattias Cantzler was born in 1976 in Sweden and for five years he has been living in Norway. His film is an experiment, which focuses on the experience of time and movement. It's filmed with a home-made Pinehole camera that requires very long exposure times (about 3 minutes/picture). A hundred pictures were taken during the same day in the seaside suburb of Rome called Cristoforo Colombo. The project took place in the winter season, when most of its visitors were back home.
