“Observation is a dying art”*…
Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Jason Shulman captures the entire duration of a movie in a single image with his series Photographs of Films.
There are roughly 130,000 frames in a 90-minute film and every frame of each film is recorded in these photographs.
More examples, and the backstory, at “Final cut: films condensed into a single frame – in pictures” and here. See Shulman’s other work here.

As we enjoy our popcorn, we might recall that it was on this date in 2002 that the Cannes Film Festival employed a specially-empaneled jury to judge films from 1939, the planned first year of the festival (which was postponed due to World War II). The retrospective Palme d’Or went to Union Pacific.
