Anti-Clock
A complex and fascinating experimental exploration of time and identity, Anti-Clock is a film of authentic, startling originality. Brilliantly mixing film and video techniques, Arden and Bond's paranoid, psychological surveillance study of a career gambler turned clairvoyant unstuck in time captures onscreen the anxieties that have infiltrated the consciousness of so many in Western society.

Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Time travel drives much of the story. This assessment is provisional.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Nonlinear temporal perception.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Retain provisional 8/10 for the experimental temporal-consciousness premise, not established literal travel. Psychological probing and computer modelling explore past, present and possible futures; an aspiration to experience multiple presents does not itself demonstrate time travel. Keep related placement.
The clairvoyant protagonist experiences disrupted time in an experimental study of perception.

How Titan works
Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.
Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]
This film: 48.86 base × 71.2% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
