Andy Warhol: Empire
Is this even a film? If so, it's a film stripped of most attributes that distinguish moving images from photos. Andy Warhol exposed celluloid for over six hours, filming the Empire State Building's tip from dusk till night. Projected at 16 frames per second, it lasts over 8 hours. A shortened 50-minute version, scored live by saxophonist Fabian Dudek and a quintet, plays at Stadtgarten Köln. The music accompanies the transition from day to night, a subtle yet drastic change.
