A tribute to the late Chris Marker, this session will begin with a screening of La Jetée (1962) and lead to a discussion with life-long colleagues of Marker‘s, programmer Lia van Leer and producer and Telluride‘s director Tom Luddy. Contemporary filmmakers Deimantas Narkevičius and Basma Alsharif talk about how they have been influenced by Marker’s work. How do Marker's signature themes such as time and memory in film intriguingly create filmic experiences that go beyond fiction?
