Slow Time
Leffe
Leffe is the original Abbey beer worth slowing down for and savouring, just as the monks did when they first crafted it in 1240. To kick back against a hectic, always-on-the-go world we celebrated slowness by championing artists and artisans whose work demands slowing right down. Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Gary Tarn, Slow Time documented the work of Willard Wigan, a sculptor who has to slow his breathing to prevent inhaling his microscopic artworks; Susan Derges, who takes hours to develop her photographs in streams under moonlight; astro-photographer Pete Lawrence, who exposes his images over months to capture scenes light years away; animators the Brothers Quay, who painstakingly produce films at 25 frames a second using traditional stop-motion techniques; and Adrienne Treeby, a charcuterist whose flavouring process takes years. Slow Time was selected for various national and international film festivals and played out across PR, digital and advertising.
