The Death of Film

The Death of Film, with a runtime of 856 hours, is an experimental feature exploring the gradual demise of cinema. Conceived by producers Samuel Felinton and Damien Dennis, in collaboration with an AI system, the project tasked the AI with generating a film based on its interpretation of nature, deliberately approaching, but not exceeding, the 857-hour length of Logistics (2012), the second-longest film ever made. All proceeds from the film are pledged to the Animation Guild, supporting human animators and advocating for the preservation of traditional animation.

The film holds multiple distinctions: it is the longest animated film ever made, the second-longest American film, the third-longest film overall, and the longest non-documentary film in existence.
