Films We Have Watched

Film 1: Copy Shop
By: Virgil Wildrich
Where: Austria
When: 2001
Length: 12 Minutes

About a man who wakes up everyday and does the same thing; washes his face, walks down the street, smiles at florist, goes to copy shot and see copies of himself on the paper. However, as the film goes on, copies of the actual man start to appear and they have the same daily routine as the original man. in the end, the man falls or jumps off a tower. The film shows how repetitive and monotonous life can be.

Shot in black and white. There is a lack of camera movement. The sounds are mainly of the copy machine. The music gets faster with the amount of men that are being copied.
