Watch the 72-Minute Trailer for a Month-Long Film Called, "Ambiance"

There's a Long History of Artists Creating Incredibly Long Films and a Swedish Filmmaker is Planning to Set an Eminently Unwatchable New Record. Director Anders Weberg, Plans to Make his upcoming Picture "Ambiancé" Run for 720 Hours — 30 Full Days — with the Picture Exploring More or Less What its Title Suggests: How Film Can Evoke Mood. It will be Slow and Strange, with Little Guarantee of a Narrative but, that's Hardly the Point. Weberg Plans for it to be a Surreal Exploration of his Relationship with Film. A 1st Trailer for "Ambiancé" was Released on July 4 and it'll be Available Online Only until July 20th. Naturally, the Trailer is Quite Long, Running for 72 Minutes. That's the Last of the Movie that you'll See for a while, though. A 2nd Trailer will Follow in 2016, Running for 7 Hours and 20 Minutes and a 3rd Trailer will Follow in 2018, Running 72 Hours.


Finally, the Film will Begin to Play on December 31, 2020, When it'll Presumably Take the Title of World's Longest Film. The Current Record Holder for Longest Movie is Said to be the 2011 Film, Modern Times Forever, which Runs for 10 Days. Like the Trailer, Weberg Plans for the Movie to Vanish too. Weberg Plans to Have "Ambiancé" Screen Only a Single Time, Simultaneously on Every Single Continent. After that, it'll be Destroyed. For Now, it's Hard to See How the Film's Destruction Fits into the Movie — but then, these Overlong Films Have Often been More about our Relationship with Film than What the Film Shows. It's a Technique that was Arguably Kicked Off by Andy Warhol: his 1963 Film, Sleep, Depicted over 5 Hours of a Man Sleeping and his 1964 Film, Empire, Depicting the Empire State Building for 8 Hours.
