How it feels
This experimental short film repurposes old footage of a streetcar ride through early 20th century San Francisco. The filmmaker slows the original film down so that the cityscape appears to drift by in a dreamy and patient way.

What happens
Eureka, also known as Geography, is a 1979 American experimental short film by Ernie Gehr. It uses as its source material A Trip Down Market Street, a 1906 phantom ride which traverses Market Street in San Francisco. Gehr rephotographed the film, slowing it considerably by capturing each frame multiple times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
