Venice Pier - Gary Beydler (USA, 1976,16mm, 11:00 min, mute)
“I wanted to
make a film that was exactly one year in the making. I love the ocean, and I
decided to shoot on the Venice Pier, which was about a quarter mile long. About
every ten feet, there are divisions in the pier, which I decided to use as the
shooting points. I started shooting maybe in November or December, and shot it
all the way through to the following year, finishing on the same date. Watching
the film, you’re moving forward every so slowly, through different times,
different seasons, different situations. Sometimes you get the feeling of
movement, sometimes you don’t. No need for staging, I just shot things that
were happening.”
