"In concentrating on [a] set of problems, of ten wrongly seen as 'minimalist', Iimura went much, much further than any other film artist in exploring a kind of art-science. This concern with the experience of time, its measured passage and the analogy between time and space, has been the main recurring theme at the center of his work."

24 FRAMES PER SECOND (1975, 10.5 minutes, 16mm, b&w, sound)
"Both in terms of its examination of time and space, of light and darkness, of visuals and sounds; and in terms of its demands and potential rewards for an audience, [this] is a quintessential Iimura film." - Scott MacDonald
TIMED 1, 2, 3 (from MODELS, Reel 1) (1972, 10.5 minutes, 16mm, b&w, sound)
"Visually, each section of the film is composed of 10-second spans of clear and dark leader, arranged in a progressive fashion so that at first there is more and more light and less darkness, then vice versa...One of Iimura's most impressive films."- Scott MacDonald
ONE FRAME DURATION (11 minutes, 16mm, b&w/color, sound)
"The film concerns the duration (or non-duration) of one frame, as the title indicates, the minimum unit of film in space (dark and light) with sound (or silent) and their various combinations." - T.I.
1 TO 60 SECONDS (1973, 30 minutes, 16mm, b&w, sound)
"In [this film] Iimura does an extraordinary thing: he abstracts time from any concrete associations, seems to put it on the screen and there you sit looking at (or for) it" - Paul Poggiali
