Singling out long takes in a forum dedicated to experimental film is shooting fish in a barrel! So I'll dive in with the more idiosyncratic part of the inquiry, photography/still images. Two wonderful things I've seen recently entirely comprised of still photographic images "moving", and directly engage a sense of bemusement in finding the line between stasis and motion, are Abbas Kiarostami's *24 Frames *and Jon Jost's *Mountains as Mountains*, which you can watch here <https://vimeo.com/210105853>.
shamelessly, my video Rocking Horses <https://vimeo.com/187689950> (password=rocking, clever I know) stasis classics: Chris Marker's *La Jetee *and Raul Ruiz's *Dogs Dialog*. Apitchatpong Weerasathakul is a master of long takes, and in *Uncle Boonme... *you get two-for-one, as, if I recall, there's a lovely sequence of still photographs of Thai soldiers around the halfway mark. Pedro Costa's films are filled with long takes, and the opening of *Horse Money *is an incredible procession of Jacob Riis depression-era photos. Tsai Ming-Liang, and if you're really looking for parts that emphasize stillness and the weight of time, there's a 20 minute uninterrupted shot towards the end of *Stray Dogs *that's really something else. And yeah, James Benning, Sharon Lockhart, and some Ben Russell on the more experimental/non-narrative side of things.
