WAVELENGTH, 1967 & WAVELENGTH FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE THE TIME, 2003

WAVELENGTH, 1967
Canada | 16mm, Color, 45’ | No Dialogue

Considered one of the milestones of experimental cinema and a pioneering film for the future of cinema, Wavelength revolves around a still shot of a room where the sound of waves outside intertwines with The Beatles song Strawberry Fields Forever, creating the image of a cinema we are not yet aware of. The film consists of a 45-minute zoom-in on a photograph hanging on the wall of a damp house. This long, constant zooming movement accompanies the film until the camera finally leaves the room and reaches the waves, the sound that we hear.

WAVELENGTH FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE THE TIME, 2003
Canada | Video, Color, 15’ | No Dialogue

By removing some scenes from the film and applying a layered editing with new ideas he had acquired over the years, the director decades later gives a new perspective to Wavelength, the work for which he will be remembered. Due to his sincere bond with his audience, he presents this film as Wavelength for Those Who Don’t Have the Time.
