100m behind the future @ IFF Rotterdam, Netherlands

expanded cinema live performance

2012

The project was commissioned by the “For Real” Program at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam in January 2012.

100 Meters Behind the Future” is a live film that is being shot, acted, directed, edited, screened, watched and deleted in real time. It’s a film about delay, the expansion of cinema and the paranoia that creeps in when the mash-up of several time zones and realities escapes the logical explanations of the captive audience.
The screening room is the front row of a van in which one or two people are being driven around while following the action in double view – through the windshield of the car and the screen of the device they hold in their hands.
