Fast Film

Animation/Art, Germany/Luxembourg 2003

A kiss, a happy couple. The woman is kidnapped, the man comes to her rescue, but during their escape they find themselves in the enemys secret headquarters. This classic plot conceals an hommage to action movies. In 14 minutes, "Fast Film" provides a tour de force through film history, from its silent beginnings to present-day Hollywood. The filmmakers printed out some 65,000 individual images from 300 films, folded them into paper objects, arranged them in complex tableaux, and then brought them to life with an animation camera in a two-year production process.
