Released in 2009, Static is a documentary film directed by Steve McQueen, running about 7 minutes.

What it’s about. Static was filmed from a helicopter circling around the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. It was shot shortly after the monument was fully re-opened following the September 11th attacks. Flying alongside the statue, the camera presents us with startling close-up views of its oxidised copper surface. The continual sense of movement is disorienting, undermining its sense of permanence and stability.

How it landed. With an audience score of 1.0/10, Static has proved divisive with audiences.
