Special film introduction and post-screening discussion with writer/programmer Philip Wohlstetter!
In 1967, Marker and his collaborators (working in a Marxist art collective) put self-representation in the hands of striking workers at a textile factory. The resulting film is a fascinating series of interviews and monologues about the strike, which was an organized rebellion in France in the year before May 1968. The documentary's title is taken from a stirring speech that translates to “see you soon, I hope": a light way to speak to capitalism itself. Screens with the film Class Struggle.
- Don't miss our post screening discussion with local writer and film programmer Philip Wohlstetter, co-founder of the Cinematheque at the Grand Illusion and curator of Seattle's first Chris Marker retrospective in the 1980s (along with tributes to Godard, Alexander Kluge and Third World Musicals).
