La Jetée with Statues Also Die

Thu, May 5 | 7:30pm | TMT

La Jetée is one of the most influential sci-fi films, perhaps best known for having inspired Terry Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys . (Marker’s film was itself inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo ). La Jetée comprises still photographs and traces an ultimate- ly circular time travel experiment in a post-apocalyptic Paris. It plays here with Marker’s first documentary, co-directed with Alain Resnais and Ghislain Cloquet, Statues Also Die , which was banned in France for its critique of France’s colonial history.
