October 18, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Chris Marker
Peter Blum Gallery
526 W 29th StLa Jetée
One of the most radical and influential films ever made, La Jetée uses still images and a single splice of film to tell the story of a man sent backward and forward in time in order to save a war-ravaged world. Much more a human story than a science fiction film, it is essentially about the power and fragility of memory and images. (1963, 27 mins.)
Remembrance of Things to Come
Composed almost entirely of still images (like La Jetée), Remembrance of Things to Come is a portrait of the photographer Denise Bellon. An intimate of the surrealists, Bellon was a tireless documentarian of Paris streets, French art and cinema, WWII and the Spanish Civil War. Writing on this film in The New York Times in 2003, Elvis Mitchell called it “the most unforgettable film of any length you will see this year.” (2002, 42 mins., A First Run / Icarus Films Release)
