IMG750-Day 4

            Day 4: Today is Chris Marker's birthday. It is also his death day (he died today in 2012)
Chris Marker is a French director and he made many "experimental films", his most daring "La Jetee", which is listed above. It is shot with still photographs with one part that actually moves. It is about a time traveler who is sent backwards from his apocalyptic present to get some fuel for the survivors. That is not even a fit description but too much will ruin it if you havent seen it. If it sounds familiar, it was the inspiration for the Gilliam film "12 Monkeys" with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. 
"La Jetee" was inspired by one scene in Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (when they are in the Redwood forest), its funny how things work. 

Significance to me: I saw La Jetee in my philosophy and film class in undergrad and it really changed my life, changed how i i viewed how films could be made. I swear by this film and i feel like everyone should see it. 
It is only 28 minutes long...
Happy Birthday, Chris. Your legacy is sealed.
