Have you ever sat down by the sea at night, awestruck by the beauty of the reflections of the light on the water, and the stars in the sky? In real life, the world moves in slow motion. The stars rotate across the dome of sky, their ancient movements imperceptible to one's eye. Distant ships inch their way across the sea's black horizons. The waves crash against rocks in perpetuity. The hue of the sky seems to pulsate, round and round, from a light blue, to a dark blue, and finally towards some unnameable colour approaching, but never quite reaching, pure blackness. If you sit long enough, you perceive the changes in the slow-moving scenery - but only by noticing that something has moved, not by seeing it moving. In this film, "Redshift", time is sped up, cramming time into a narrow window, liberating the viewer to experience the undulations of the nighttime world at a pace that our heart and mind can instantly embrace.
