Peter Kubelka AT, 1958, 35 mm

Length: 00'60" (1 440 frames) 

Kubelka's achievement is that he has taken Soviet montage one step further. While Eisenstein used shots as the basic units and edited them together in a pattern to make meanings, Kubelka has gone back to the individual still frame as the essence of cinema. The fact that a projected film consists of 24 still images per second serves as the basis of his art. (Fred Camper)
