Ten Minutes Older

Director: Herz Frank | Sovjet Union 1978 | 10 min | 35mm | Without dialogue

Children are observed secretly while watching a play. Attention is centred on a three-year-old on his first visit to a theatre performance. His face seems to reflect all that is to be expected in life: joy, fear, despair, fascination. The film is uncut, a role of 35-mm film. At the end of filming, the boy was ten minutes older, as is the viewer after the screening.
