List Of Longest Films By Running Time
Like determining the list of longest novels, figuring the list of longest films yields different results depending on what criteria are used.
While most cinematic films have a broad theatrical release in multiple locations through normal distribution channels, some of the world's longest films are experimental or art films that were never simultaneously released to multiple screens or intended for mainstream audiences. They may have been shown in art galleries where audiences were intended to walk in and out. The longest film screened so far is the Danish experimental film Modern Times Forever (Stora Enso Building, Helsinki) made by Superflex. It has a runtime of 240 hours and a one-off screening began on March 23, 2011 at the IHME Contemporary Art Festival in Helsinki.
This is a list of films whose running time exceeds 300 minutes (five hours).
