The Last Bolshevik
Wed, May 25 | 7:30pm | TMT
After making films as part of a collective in the 1960s named for the Russian director Aleksandr Medvedkin, Marker made a documentary on its namesake. The film is both a tribute to Medvedkin (who was a committed Bolshevik) and a journey into film history. It also serves as a history of Russia and its current place in the world.
DIRECTOR: Chris Marker.
1992. 100 min. France. Color. French. Digital.

When Laura (played by Catherine Belkhodja) loses her lover, she’s left with the task of completing his work: a computer game of the Battle of Okinawa, a major event in World War II. In this sci-fi thriller/documentary, Laura scours the internet and interviews experts, but finds less about the facts and more about her own life. The film returns to one of Marker’s central themes—memory—as well as his exploration of the digital sphere.
DIRECTOR: Chris Marker.
CAST: Catherine Belkhodja.
1997. 106 min. France. Color. French. DCP.
