Short film

12 Uhr Mittags - High Noon

1977 · 4 min

A quiet, durational endurance piece where time compresses into a hypnotic, faintly weary study of a body slowly tiring.

Directed by: Ernst Schmidt Jr.

Overview: A person sticks it out for 24 hours in front of the camera. Every ten minutes a short clip was recorded, 8 frames per second (which is then projected at a speed of 24 f.p.s.). The tiredness of 24 hours in a time lapse of 4 minutes. (E.S.jr.)
