During the single, 27-minute shot of Kassay's 16mm film, a helicopter lifts off from the desert ground, rises a couple of meters, hovers in place, then lands. The rotation of the helicopter's blades synchronize with the frame rate of the recording camera, 24 frames per second. We see the paradox of flight without motion, the still blades lifting the vehicle. The volume of the recorded helicopter is equalized to the acoustic quality of the projector within the room which it is displayed.
