The End of Time

Milcho Manchevski / Cuba, United States / 2017 / Czech Premiere / 5 min.


synopsis

Delving for a brief moment into an everyday scene, we see various movements at various speeds and experience microstories representing the familiarity of the street. The classical technique of analytical slowing down different parts of the image at different speeds is used to capture an otherwise invisible phenomenon.

“Sometimes in a flash you become aware of the fact that time does not matter.” M. Manchevski
