Sasha Pirker's Real Time is concerned in a two-fold sense with recording artistic creative processes. Shooting with a Bolex camera, the filmmaker documents the form-finding creation of a drawing in real time. Line follows upon line only to reveal, by the end of the film, what film normally conceals: the woman with a movie camera - as well as the artist Gerlind Zeilner who has captured their mirror image in her collective portrait drawing.
