Both in terms of its examination of time and space, of light and darkness, of visuals and sounds; and in terms of its demands and potential rewards for an audience, '24 Frames Per Second' is a quintessential film from this filmmaker. The film alternates between one-second passages during which the viewer sees one of a series of fractions and with one-second segments of black and clear leaders. As the film progresses, the fractions grow from 1/24 to 24/24. 1/24, for example, is followed by one second of film in which one frame is clear and 23 are black, and then one is black, 23 clear.
