The Death of Film
The Death of Film, spanning 856 hours, explores the eventual demise of cinema. Producers Samuel Felinton, Damien Dennis, and Declan Mungovan, tasked AI with generating a film based on its interpretation of nature while intentionally approaching, but not surpassing, the 857-hour runtime of Logistics (2012), the longest film on record. All funds from this project will be donated to the Animation Guild to support human animators and preserve their craft.
