Virgil Widrich

Copyshop

Oscar-nominated short film about a man employed in a copy shop, who makes photocopies of himself until they fill up the entire world.

Conceived by director Virgil Widrich, the film consists of nearly 18,000 photocopied digital frames, which are animated and filmed with a 35mm camera, making for an extraordinary visual feast.

Fast Film

Virgil Widrich's extraordinary, award-winning animation is a technical masterpiece. Hundreds of great movie moments are distilled into 14 minutes of animated magic by the director's clever use of technology (and a photocopier).

What makes Fast Film unique is that all its scenes were taken from 300 different feature films. Director Virgil Widrich captured stills from the 300 movies, and made over 65,000 photocopies of these, then folded them into a variety of shapes and animated them. The result is a completely fresh look at Hollywood - a tour of movie history at breakneck speed.
