Between 13 hour long brisket burger commercials and 7 hour long in-flight films, excessively long video ventures like this month-long film are becoming all the rage. A Swedish filmmaker recently released this 72 minute trailer for Ambiancé, which is set to premiere on December 31, 2020.
The mood piece runs a full 720 hours, or 30 days. The purpose of the month-long film is to explore how movies can set the ambiance or atmosphere. An ambitious artistic adventure, Ambiancé will have more trailers to follow: one in 2016 that will run 7 hours and 20 minutes, and another in 2018 that will be 72 hours in length. Although it will not be released for another 6.5 years, it's likely this month-long film will become the new World Record holder for longest movie after 2011's Modern Times Forever.
