Slow cinema Slow cinema is a genre of art cinema film-making that emphasizes long takes, and is often minimalist, observational, and with little or no narrative. It is sometimes called "contemplative cinema". Examples include Ben Rivers' "Two Years at Sea", Michelangelo Frammartino's "Le Quattro Volte", and Shaun Wilson's film "51 Paintings".
