Hello Ayash,
I don't know if the MZ-M allows multiple exposures. It probably does, in
that case maybe you could try 60 half-second exposures... tedious, yes but
might be worth trying. (provided you can "wind and cock the shutter" in less than
half a
second :). Or try more+shorter exposures, maybe with a 5 second interval...
I have seen this technique used --and have tried myself-- to photography
crowded places and still get the impression of empty space (Railway station,
at night,with ~20 exposures at 1/250th, all the moving people and their dog
only appear as ghostly figures against a very solid background).
You have to take reciprocity into account, of course.
I too find long exposures quite fascinating and I have discovered recently
the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto, a Japanese photog who used to take pictures in
movie theatres, excepted that he chose to expose the entire duration of the
movie, which usually gives a very white rectangle, surrounded by the
architectural details of the theatres -he likes rich ornate theaters from
the 20s or 30s-.
( there's an interview there:

I don't know what kind of film he uses, though.
cheers,
Fabrice
