Cinematographer, Director, Producer: Phillip Noyce
"This film is an exploration of a specific
area of space and time. The space: 360 degrees of action at a
traffic inter- section, and the time: the period of waiting before
the lights change - the changed value of that time - the illusion
that time is running slower than normally. There's an opening
section of black intercut with flashing strobe- like images with
sounds of shouts, car horns, conveying a strange feeling, then
the camera begins its dizzy whirling, continuously rotating through
360 degrees. Every time the camera repeats an area the scene has
changed because of the traffic flow. The sound is an incessantly
repeated car horn at very high level." - Cantrill's film
