Copy Shop is a 2001 Austrian short film written and directed by Virgil Widrich. The twelve-minute black-and-white film is composed of nearly 18,000 photocopied frames, creating a visual parable on duplication and loss of identity in the digital age. It was screened at more than 750 film festivals worldwide, received 43 international awards, and was nominated for both the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film and the European Film Award for Best Short Film in 2002.

Production

Copy Shop was produced in Vienna in 2000–2001 by the Virgil Widrich Film- und Multimediaproduktions G.m.b.H.

The film was shot digitally, and every single frame was printed out in black and white on a laser printer, then re-filmed frame by frame with a 35 mm animation camera.

This hybrid technique transforms the process of copying itself into the subject of the film.

The production was supported by the Austrian Federal Chancellery (Arts Division), the Province of Salzburg, the City of Vienna, and the ORF.

Production design was by Joachim Luetke, cinematography by Martin Putz, and music and sound design by Alexander Zlamal.
