Der erste Film zeigt die Einfahrt einer Eisenbahn. In (14)35mm fahren Eisenbahnen der Filmgeschichte gemeinsam ein. Kader für Kader montierte ich eine Synthese der Eisenbahnmotive der Filmgeschichte.
Der Titel (14)35mm ist eine Zahlenkombination, die zwei signifikanten Zahlen 35mm mit und Eisenbahn kombiniert. 1435 mm beträgt die norm der Schienenbreite in Europa. Eher dem Zufall zuzuschreiben ist die Entdeckung dieser Ziffer in einer Enzyklopädie.
Schwellen vs. Bildstrich.
Thesis
This is the story of the advancing rails in cinema – How much influence had the invention of railroad and cinema on the development of a modern gaze? What did emerge from this relation?
Abstract – In this paper I investigate the topos of railway and film. Basically these two subjects are linked by movement: physical and virtual journeys. The history of travel is coupled with an interest in adventure and experience. A depiction of the historical development of pre-cinematic devices and travel opportunities characterizes the basic features of our modern cultural experience. The railway marks the transition to the modern age and introduces panoramatic vision. This is a required prerequisite for the understanding of motion pictures. L‘arrived d‘un train à la Ciotat (1895) is considered one of the first films and this constitutes an important moment in the film-rail history. Panoramatic Vision is at the same time presented as well as represented. This archetypal motif of a train entering a station is often copied in the following years and leads to the movie genre of railroad-movies. These films use the train in a variety of functions: for narration, as a symbols and as setting
In my film „14(35)“ I try to explore the links between films and railroads. I have collected and cataloged several ways railways can be depicted in motion pictures. My work distills the essence of these cinematic set-ups from the entire film history. A continuous movement, which starts with he Bothers Lumiére in 1895 and is easily continued by todays films, is being established in my practical work.
