Re-editing an enormous quantity of film, much of it taken under dangerous conditions during the activist struggles of the 1960s and early '70s, Marker - who always thinks about the condition of film as memory - presents a vivid picture of world unrest, denouncing 'governments, who would like us to have no memory'.
Dir. Chris Marker, France, 1977, 3h, Subtitled
This film is also part of Known Unknowns, a film season which explores the camera's role not only in recording events, but also in producing them; it explores the implications of the camera as an agent of change, something which can deceive and beguile as easily as it can record.
