Standard Time
Michael Snow, 1967, CA, 16mm, 8'

“Standard Time was the second work to begin to explore the vocabulary of camera movement. It uses horizontal and vertical pans from a tripod. The soundtrack came from using the radio as a musical instrument. I ‘played’ it using the station dial, the volume dial, and the bass and treble. The sound imitates, in a sense, the visual movements in the film.” (MS)
