To Chris Marker, An Unsent Letter
Nov 25, 2013
(Emiko Omori, 2012, United States, 78 min)
This contemplative essay film is inspired by Chris Marker's signature style, and made as part biography, part tribute to the legendary and ephemeral filmmaker. To Chris Marker is a cinematic love letter, directed by Emmy-award winning cinematographer and filmmaker Emiko Omori, whose credits include Marker's The Owl’s Legacy.
Through interviews with Marker's many colleagues and admirers, Omori lovingly describes a man whose preference for personal privacy has rendered him perhaps cinema’s most famous enigma: a man who "is" his work.
