1. Logistics
51,420 minutes (885 miles of film)
This 2012 film was made by Swedish artists who wanted to show the complete journey of a simple device, a pedometer, from its factory in Shenzhen, China to the distributor and point of sale in Sweden. The process is shown in reverse order, which kinda negates the idea of showing it in real time. Perhaps the filmmakers ran out of hard drive space in Shenzhen at the factory, otherwise, they might have shown the mining of the tungsten in Russia or the discovery of polymers in a European lab in another 50,000 minutes. The film was shown in both Sweden and China.
