Time Being

We all have an intimate relationship with time, but when you try to picture it, what does time look like? Our efforts to gauge and measure time’s physical properties reveal the limits of science and the reaches of creativity. Essentially 88 one-minute movies, Gallagher’s philosophically and formally adventurous Time Being fits in the tradition of essay films by European masters Chris Marker and Joris Ivens. Time Being charts an epic journey, playfully exploiting space and motion to revel in the wonderful paradox that is time. – Tom Charity, Vancouver International Film Centre
