According to this movie, 5000 space aliens are currently living,
anonymously, on out panet earth - and this film here shows them all for us
to be able to identify them, albeit each one only for a second ... And
that's really what the film's all about, 5000 roughly one second snippets
of people at various actions, most of them stylized or even altered via
computer. There's no more plot to it, and the snippets, mostly random
found footage really, have no direct narrative connection to one another,
seem to be pulled from different time periods, with some steeped in
realism, others resembling Terry Gilliam's animations from Monty
Python's Flying Circus, while others still probably stemming from
vintage movies and TV. And I do know this makes the film sound rather
unappealing to slightly boring - but really the movie isn't, as what it
lacks in plot or even coherence it makes up in elegance in editing, as
while the sequence of the slips seems random, it actually evokes
associations, gives the film some kind of logic on a deeper level, and a
totally trippy feeling in the process. Now that all said, given, this is
not a film for everyone as it needs the viewer's willingness to immerse
oneself in the movie - but if one's willing, one's in for a positively
weird experience.
