An experimental travelogue interweaving documentary footage, stock images, and fictional film excerpts, Chris Marker’s groundbreaking essay film probes the complexity of memory. As images unfold across locations, including Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, and Japan, an anonymous narrator reads letters sent by a traveling cameraman, who acts as a fictional guise for the filmmaker. Eschewing the omniscient narration of conventional travelogues, Marker grounds this cinematic letter in a deeply personal and inquisitive perspective. 1983, France, 35mm, in French with English subtitles, 100 min.Part of Cinema Revived: Timeless Selections from the Vault, an ongoing presentation of notable feature-length films from the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection.
