Synopsis

The experimental film Two time in one space by Ivan LadislavGaleta (1947-2014) is based on the film of Nikola Stojanović In the kitchen. This film was shot in one 12-minute take. Galeta created a double film recording within a single projection with a time shift of 9 seconds (1976). In 1984, this procedure had its technology changed, for it was done in the laboratory by the merging of two copise with a shift of 216 frames a second. By a simple procedure of manipulating reality, Galeta changed the whole time-space structure of the story. Time, the main aspect of the medium, has become the basic narrative module of this experimental film.
