Timecode

Directed by Mike Figgis

The film is unedited from four continuous 90-minute takes that were filmed simultaneously by four cameramen; the screen is divided into quarters and the four shots are shown simultaneously. The film depicts  groups of people in LA as they interact and conflict while preparing for the shooting of a movie in a production office. The film was improvised from a predetermined structure and the sound mix of the film is designed so that the most significant of the four sequences on screen dominates the soundtrack at any given moment. It was recorded on November 19, 1999, beginning at 3.00 pm, and ending a little after 4:30 pm.
