The actor’s meditative voiceover guides viewers through a hugely moving look at a 1938 video clip of a Polish village – before it was decimated by the Holocaust
‘It is aware of its limitations and is all the more powerful for it’ … a still from Three Minutes: A Lengthening.‘It is aware of its limitations and is all the more powerful for it’ … a still from Three Minutes: A Lengthening.he Storyville film Three Minutes: A Lengthening is a combination of historical investigation, documentary and art piece. It is astonishing.
Bianca Stigter, the director, “lengthens” this clip in many unexpected ways, posing questions as much as she answers them. There is poetic narration from Helena Bonham Carter, which gently nudges the viewer this way or that, as well as voiceovers from characters whose stories are teased out over 69 minutes. Mostly, though, it stands alone as a thought-provoking piece, inviting the viewer to engage with its mysteries.
‘Fragments and details are examined and pieced together, all of which breathe life into this short, silent clip.’The first act of lengthening necessitates discovering more about this film. Even the location being shot is unknown, to start with. Perhaps it is the home town of Kurtz’s grandmother. They track down a man who lived there; he doesn’t recognise it. His grandfather’s home town? A photograph of the Lion of Judah, carved on one of the synagogue doors, confirms it.
