It’d be great if everyone read the original post and what others post in the 
thread, wouldn’t it?  If one more person suggests Bleu Shut...!

But to try to inject a little substance here, I think it’s telling that most of 
the examples that we’ve collectively come up with are from an earlier era (many 
in the heyday of Structural Film).  Marclay’s magnum opus notwithstanding, it 
does seem like experimental film now isn’t especially invested in that kind of 
rigid formal investigation of time (&c.) in the way it once was…

Quickly,
Roger

Hola Albert,

You should also consider Christian Marclay's The Clock, now up at the Tate 
Modern.

Hello,

Consider also Guy Sherwin's At the Academy and Metronome, both of which feature 
timekeeping devices related to the clock.

Hello again,

Thank you all for the answers. The winner is Bleu Shut (1971) by Robert Nelson, 
with four different votes!

The suggestions will be really useful although i see it is rather difficult to 
mention contemporary works. I have found some others created around the 
seventies, like those filmed by Guy Sherwin: Candle & Clock (London 1977) and 
Clock & Train (Leaving Birmingham 1978).

Best,
Albert

Hi Albert!

I guess you have been thinking about Bleu Shut (1971) by Robert Nelson. In 
"classic" narrative cinema you will find many films of course, like 
Smultronstället/Wild Strawbarries (1957) by Ingmar Bergman and Victor Sjöströms 
Körkarlen(1921)

Subject: [Frameworks] Films about the clock
Hello frameworkers,

I’m trying to write a short article in spanish about different notions of time 
concerning contemporary experimental film and video. Since the concept of “time 
related to cinema” is almost impossible to delimit I have decided to 
concentrate just about the clock.

So, i’m searching films and videos where the clock is an important object/issue 
for the development of the piece. By now I have just found appropiation works 
as 60 Seconds (2002) by Christoph Girardet and The Clock (2012) by Christian 
Marclay but i’m sure there are dozens.

There’s a brilliant film by Chris Gallagher named Time Being (2009) that could 
also be useful to theorize some ideas but I need some more titles.

Any suggestions?

Thank you all,

Best,
Albert
