*Screened as an installation in the Rank Room, with free admission and the director’s occasional presence Paint Drying (an expression that refers to the most boring activity imaginable) is a cheeky protest against the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), a board that assigns a compulsory classification to all films that want to be exhibited in the UK, charging an excessive fee that weighs mainly heavily on independent filmmakers. Shackleton made the film (with the help of a crowdfunding campaign) specifically to force the BBFC to sit for 607 minutes, without audio, looking at a static shot of paint drying on a brick wall.
