Fast Film (film)

Fast Film is a 2003 Austrian/Luxembourgian film directed by Virgil Widrich.

Plot summary
An homage to action films, it tells the story of a chase using scraps of other films as different types of animation (using 65,000 paper printouts of images from 400 live action films ) illustrate a classic chase scene scenario: A woman is abducted and a man comes to her rescue, but during their escape they find themselves in the enemy's secret headquarters.
