How it feels

A camera rides along a narrow abandoned railway track in Norway, showing the overgrown path frame by frame. The film captures the forgotten route and the landscape around it.

What happens

Smale spor av et århundre (engelsk: Where Trains Used to Go) er en animert kortfilm regissert og fotografert av Morten Skallerud. Filmen består av sammensatte bilde-for-bilde opptak fra et kamera montert på en rigg som kjører og viser en smal nedlagt jernbane. Den er den første norske filmen filmet på storformat 65-mm film (IMAX-format), men har ikke blitt vist på kino i Norge ettersom Norges eneste IMAX-kino (ved Aker i Oslo) la ned driften før filmen ble ferdiggjort. Filmen fikk premiere under storformat-festivalen LCFA i Los Angeles i 2003 og vant prisen for beste kortfilm. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
