Baa Baa Land
''Baa Baa Land'' is a 2017 slow cinema film produced by meditation software company Calm featuring eight hours of footage of sheep standing in a field. The idea for the film was conceived by producer Peter Freedman, and was directed, shot and edited by art film director Garth Thomas. Each shot lasts between 30 minutes to over an hour. It was filmed at the Layer Marney lamb and sheep farm near Tiptree in Essex, England, and premiered at the Prince Charles Cinema in London's West End on September 27, 2017. The film is an example of "slow cinema", a technique that focuses on long takes, minimalism, and often very little to no narrative or dialogue. The film has no plot nor any human actors, dialogue or narrative, and was described as the "dullest movie ever made" by Freedman. It is intended to put viewers to sleep, and was described by producer Alex Tew, a co-founder of Calm along with producer Michael Acton Smith, as "better than any sleeping pill" and "the ultimate insomnia cur ...

Films Without Speech
A film also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images.

2010s Avant-garde And Experimental Films
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Empire (1964 Film)
''Empire'' is a 1965 American black-and-white silent art film by Andy Warhol. When projected according to Warhol's specifications, it consists of eight hours and five minutes of slow motion footage of an unchanging view of New York City's Empire State Building. The film does not have conventional narrative or characters, and largely reduces the experience of cinema to the passing of time. Warhol stated that the purpose of the film was "to see time go by." A week after the film was shot, experimental filmmaker Jonas Mekas (who was cinematographer for ''Empire'') speculated in the ''Village Voice'' that Warhol's film would have a profound influence on avant-garde cinema. In 2004, ''Empire'' was included in the annual selection of 25 motion pictures added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, who deemed it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Synopsis ''Empire'' was filmed at 24 frames per second, and is meant to be seen in slow motion at 16 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Imitation Of Christ (film)
''Imitation of Christ'' is a film shot and directed by Andy Warhol in 1967. Summary The title for this film comes from the ''De imitatione Christi'', a spiritual guide written in the fifteenth century by Dutch mystic/author Thomas à Kempis (1390–1471). The film itself is a realistic dramatic comedy about a handsome young man called Son, silent and moody, who spends much time in his bedroom with the family maid, who feeds him corn flakes, strokes his hair, and reads to him from the ''Imitatione Christi''. Elsewhere in the family home, the young man's mother and father lie in bed and argue over Son, trying to analyze what's wrong with him, while, at the same time, admitting their physical attraction toward him, and lamenting over their own sad lives. Son also has angry arguments there in his home with his abrasive girlfriend, over minor matters. Intercut into the film are outdoor scenes of Son ambling through the streets of San Francisco with a hobo. Cast * Brigid Berlin (also ...

Andy Warhol (; born Andrew Warhola Jr.; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American visual artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
