This year in movies, as told by 300 of them in seven minutes

Genevieve Ip returns with her annual look back at the year in movies. This time around she’s crammed 300 films into a seven-minute retrospective. The clip is separated into five parts based on various themes that connect the various films used: words, origins, evil, death & love, and time. Hop over to Ip’s Tumblr to read her take on said themes.

“One of my biggest goals in cutting this video was to show that movies are more alike than they are dissimilar, that they can all come together and tell a grander narrative about humanity and life,” she told the LA Times. “I’ll create a backbone of themes and try to find dialogue and music to support them. Sometimes though, I’m struck by a particular line and it takes on a life of its own and creates its own thematic section.”

According to a recent tweet, this is Ip’s final “Filmography” mashup. “I’m ready to come up with a new format for my passion projects,” she admits. So sit back, relax, and enjoy “Filmography 2013” and relive her past creations here.

She’s done it again. Gen Ip, a communications student from Vancouver BC, has mashed together 230 movies that made in 2011.

Gen Ip, a communications student from Vancouver BC, loves movies.  So much so that she went ahead and mashed together 270 of them!  “I set out to make something that not only showcased this year’s films but also spoke to overall themes that we see in movies time and time again,” she explained to /Film.  The mashup, which she calls “Filmography 2010”, took over two months to complete and features movies either produced or distributed in 2010 as well as a fantastic song collection.  “Music was one of the most fundamental things for me”, she said.  “Song selection took a while because I wanted to experiment with different moods within the same video.”  Enjoy Ip’s 6+ movie mashup and bask in 2010’s cinematic offerings.
