Shot entirely in 16mm black and white film using single frame photography, 165708 employs
in-camera techniques and chemical manipulation of processed film to produce an eidetic study of temporal elasticity. Techniques include stop motion, time-lapse, light painting, flicker, tinting, and toning. Combined with cycles of alternating exposed frames, these methods imbue the work with a rhythmic magnetism, apparent both in the tempo and the aesthetic of the images.

Exploring the capacity of the medium to express various notions of time, the film begins with a
woman looking out from the shoreline. This acts as a point of departure to disparate yet
interconnected sequences which prompt the viewer to engage in a structurally unique mode of inquiry and experience. A dynamic original score by the acclaimed composer Graham Stewart accompanies the film.
