Frame Line: A collage film; Stockholm and the Swedish National Anthem appear briefly.
Red Shift: The movement of luminous body toward or away from us can be found in its spectral lines.
A shift towards red occurs with anybody that is self luminous and receding. There is uncertainty about how much observable material exists. – G.N.
