FI 2012. PC: Crystal Eye. P+D+SC+AN: Ilppo Pohjola. DP: Arto Kaivanto, Seppo Rintasalo, Antti Ruusuvuori - shot on 35 mm - the interviews have been recorded on video - released on 2K DCP. M: Elliott Sharp. S: Jim McKee. ED: Heikki Kotsalo. 60 min. A 2K DCP from Crystal Eye viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki (Helsinki Film Festival), 25 September 2012 (Finnish premiere).
Live cinema event with electronic music performed by Pekka Lappi and Jim McKee.
The third part of Ilppo Pohjola's experimental trilogy about cars (Asphalto, Routemaster, 1 Plus 1 Plus 1) - and about technology in our après nous le deluge age.
Like many true experimental movies 1 Plus 1 Plus 1 is also a meta-reflection on perception and experience at the most basic level. It is also a meditation on time, eternity, and the transience of everything.
The first episode takes place at a graveyard of cars in an autumnal wood. Organic processes are slowly overcoming inorganic bodies.
The second episode is a furious animation fantasy on the functioning of micro-organisms. It is also material cinema, as the decay of the wilfully polluted film itself has been documented.
The third episode is a flash-montage, split-screen account of crash test dummy tests with real cadavers (donated for medical purposes by the dying).
It was a thunderous experience with the electric music performed live by Pekka Lappi and Jim McKee. There are both harmony-based passages and rhythmic electronic music passages in the score.
The movie itself is based on rhythm, the extremes ranging from the slowness of the decay to the flicker effect on the microlevel.
1 Plus 1 Plus 1 is a meditation on mortality. Yet there is a fundamental, vigorous sense of a life force.
The organic quality of the transformation has been caught on photochemical film, but the movie itself is projected from a DCP. The digital intermediate has been performed very well, as can be witnessed immediately in the first episode amongst the autumnal nature. In the rest of the movie there is a quality more clean and polished than might be on a 35 mm or 16 mm projection, and that digital quality is being used as a means of expression.
