2XX in 20XX

In addition to The Suggestion Box, the Research and (Dis)information series, and other videos, I also make “2XX in 20XX”: an annually-updated video series in which I commemorate the films I watched each year with a carefully curated montage. Fullscreen and headphones recommended.


I made a montage of clips from each movie I watched during 2020, trying to play around with interesting rhythms, themes, and associations while editing. I organized the clips by month (i.e., the months in which I saw those films). My goal was to watch 220 films throughout the year; I ended up watching 329. The names/directors and release years of the films are listed at the end.

An alphabetical list is in the credits at the end.
I made a montage of clips from each movie I watched during 2017, trying to play around with interesting rhythms, themes, and associations while editing. I organized the clips by month (i.e., the months in which I saw those films). CONTENT WARNING: language, and some violent/scary images. An alphabetical list of films referenced is in the credits at the end. Also, there's a month-by-month list of films and songs on the following blog post: http://www.chriswei.com/blog//2017-movie-lessons
