02. February 2021Virgil Widrich has the idea of completing the animated film of Oskar himself, but since there is no title and Oskar had never told how his story would continue, he does not know how.
On 2.2.2021 at 6:45 Virgil Widrich wakes up from a dream, which revealed to him that the film's title would be "There is exactly enough time" – and from then on the further course of the story was clear before him in that very second.

Analog film technologies, which for more than a century offered the possibility of creating previously unseen images in motion, have almost completely disappeared in recent years. They have been replaced by digitally produced worlds of images which, despite their sheer endless possibilities, produce a very limited form of "beauty". However, the combination of analog and digital technologies offers a treasure trove of methods for creating images that are credible precisely because of their abstraction.
