1979 · Film

Released in 1979, Notes on the Passage of Time is a notable film directed by Arthur Cantrill, running about 13 minutes.
What it’s about. A three colour separation study filmed at Pearl Beach, which examines the same scene of Amethyst Avenue during the progression of a winter, then a summer day. With the sea in the background, the moving objects such as the pedestrians, cyclists, traffic are transparent and ephemeral while the stationary objects are opaque and retain a permanent quality. A strange, almost surreal quality illustrating the transitional nature of life.
