Lunch Break
Lunch Break
Lunch Break, Dir, Sharon Lockhart, 2008, USA, 84 mins
WHO
American filmmaker and photographer, whose work, with it’s near static, steady gaze and stillness, hovers between still and moving image.
VERY SIMPLE PROPOSAL
A slowed down single tracking shot along a corridor as workers at the Bath Iron Works, (Maine, USA) take their lunch break.
WHY
It’s a slowing down so as to pay better attention. It’s film as an excavation of detail that we ourselves could never hope to capture from a transitory, fleeting moment.
