What was the longest film in history before Cinématon, which the Mirror calls the “dullest film ever made”?

According to Wikipedia, which is wrong, Berlin Alexanderplatz (931 minutes or 15 hours) was the longest film. Other long films include Shoah (566 minutes, or nine hours) and Evolution of a Filipino Family (643 minutes, or 11 hours). None is as long as Douglas Gordon’s 1993 film 24-Hour Psycho in which the artist slowed down Hitchcock’s 1960 thriller to last exactly one day. Gordon once planned to slow down John Wayne film The Searchers to last five years – the length of the western’s plot. Don’t say: “At least it’s better than Sex Lives of the Potato Men.” Do say: Something loud and pretentious, ideally in French.
