Antenna in collaboration with the National Film & Sound Archive and The Alliance Française de Sydney proudly present the special screening of San Soleil as a celebratory birthday tribute to pioneering filmmaker Chris Marker. Marker’s masterpiece Sans Soleil stretches, and at times dissolves, the limits of what could be called a documentary. Part essay and part montage, the film patches together documentary and fiction with philosophical and political commentary, creating a unique cinematic atmosphere. Sans Soleil has been referred to as ‘the most intellectually exciting film ever made; it opens up discursive spaces in your head in such a way that you feel you’re being electrocuted’. However, Marker still finds room for a melancholy, yet strangely optimistic, exhilarating emotional texture. Screening will be introduced by Dr Anne Rutherford, University of Western Sydney and followed by a discussion with the audience to engage on Chris Marker’s pioneering work as a documentarian. 16mm print courtesy of the National Film & Sound Archive of Australia
