Empire

« Empire is a 1964 black-and-white silent film by Andy Warhol. When projected according to Warhol's specifications, it consists of eight hours and five minutes of slow motion footage of an unchanging view of the Empire State Building. The film does not have conventional narrative or characters, and largely reduces the experience of cinema to the passing of time. Warhol stated that the purpose of the film was "to see time go by." One week after the film was shot, experimental filmmaker Jonas Mekas (who was cinematographer for Empire) speculated in the Village Voice that Warhol's movie would have a profound influence on avant-garde cinema. The Museum of Modern Art describes Empire as "perhaps [Warhol's] most famous and influential cinematic work." The film is included in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry of culturally significant American movies. » - Wikipedia
