Chris Marker为一个展览装置设计的影响内容-主题是电影
2012.09.24法国电影资料馆Chris Marker之夜首次公开放映extrait 1.The Journey

The second entry in Marker's three-short 'video haiku' series focusing on animals, Bestiare.
This is an entrancing study of one of Marker's favorite animals, the owl.
A visit to an aviary yields a rhythmically edited series of close-ups of the rapidly rotating or intently staring feathered heads of a colorful variety of owls, accompanied by an ambient electronic soundtrack.

Marker’s OWLS AT NOON Prelude: The Hollow Men is a 19-minute looped media installation commissioned by the Museum to celebrate its reopening in Manhattan.
The text- and image-based media work, which is the first in Marker’s ambitious multipart history of the 20th century, takes as its starting point T. S. Eliot’s poem ‘The Hollow Men’ (1925), which evokes the repercussions of World War I.

Paris 2002. Yellow cats appear on the walls. Chris Marker is looking for these mysterious cats and captures with his camera the political and international events of these last two years (war in Iraq...).

One day, at the stroke of evening, on Emeryville beach in San Francisco, where unidentified artists, leave, without anyone knowing, sculptures manufactured with items that have washed ashore from the sea.
This includes a short introduction by arte, approx. 1:12 secs long, with the film being around 6 minutes itself....there are 2 intertitles in the film itself, giving the latitudanal and longitudanal co-ordinates of the beach. No subtitles required, but ill work on some anyways.

In seven different parts, Godard, Ivens, Klein, Lelouch, Marker, Resnais, and Varda show their sympathy for the North-Vietnamese army during the Vietnam War.

A man is sent back and forth and in and out of time in an experiment that attempts to unravel the fate and the solution to the problems of a post-apocalyptic world during the aftermath of WW3. The experiment results in him getting caught up in a perpetual reminiscence of past events that are recreated on an airport’s viewing pier.
