This movie barcode compresses all 92 minutes of Clerks into a single image: every shot is averaged to one colour and laid down as a vertical stripe, left to right, opening frame to end credits. Directed by Kevin Smith in 1994 and framed at 1.85:1, the comedy palette shows up as bands of colour you can read at a glance.

About this filmv

Two bored convenience store workers spend their day dealing with strange customers and their own personal problems. The film captures the essence of 90s slacker culture and the monotony of low-wage work. The visuals are stark and grainy, shot entirely in black and white with a low-budget feel.
