Zeitgeist Films

Sooooo… there’s this Tumblr where some creative person/people (it’s a mystery!) somehow take each frame from a film and smoosh them all together to make a barcode-like image. 

We have no idea how long this takes or if it is fun or artistically rewarding on a personal level, but hey, people seem to like these images. 

This one:

is from Derek Jarman’s Wittgenstein (1993). Fellow Tumblr-er Opinionsvsthesun had this to say: “I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS MOVIE IS, BUT THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BARCODE OF THEM ALL.”

We believe the caps-lock is a result of the Tumblr theme from which we copied and pasted this quote, but doesn’t it just look so passionate like that? IT STAYS.
