The longest film in the world: Logistics is a 51,420 minute journey from Sweden to China
In 2008, Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson asked themselves where modern electronic devices come from and how they are manufactured. They came up with the idea of documenting this path for an example device and decided on one Pedometer.
Her journey initially took her from her home in Stockholm across Europe via Insjön, Gothenburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam and Malaga. The trip finally ended for them at the manufacturer in Shenzhen, China.
Magnusson and Andersson shot the experimental film project Logistics or Logistics Art Project in real timewhich ultimately gave the film its incredibly long running time. Logistics was first shown at the Uppsala City Library from early December 2012 to early January 2013 and had its world premiere at the Shenzhen Fringe Film Festival in 2014.
By the way, the title for the longest non-experimental film goes to Paul Watkins’ documentary The Journey (in the Swedish original Resan) with a running time of 873 minutes. It was shown at the Berlinale in 1987, among others.
