Fade to Color
Cinema Paradiso’s movie barcode: its colors from the first frame to the last, left to right

Movie barcode

Cinema Paradiso

1988 · Giuseppe Tornatore · 2 h 54 min

More than half of Cinema Paradiso is grey, with blue-grey after it. Its brightest stretch is at 0:29:47, and its darkest at 0:04:55. It opens and ends in grey.

A movie barcode is a whole film in one picture: its frames averaged into colors and laid side by side, the first on the left and the last on the right.

Scrub through it

In Fade to Color, hold the barcode to scrub through Cinema Paradiso scene by scene, draw it as a spiral, tree rings or a bookshelf, or make it your wallpaper. And name films from their colors alone, five a day.
