Copenhagen Cycles

Institute History

  • 2007 Sundance Film Festival

Description

A bicyclist travels through a fantastical, collaged reconstruction of Denmark's capital city through a combination of precinema zoetrope with high-definition digital video technology. This installation pulls the history of filmmaking together by using beautiful still photography, spinning wheels, and perceived motion—without computer effects. The film Copenhagen Cycles plays next to 10 of the zoetropes that created it.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
