Each of his films, from \u003ci\u003eLa Jet?e\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eSans Soleil\u003c\/i\u003e, pushes the boundaries of its medium, merging at times with the essay, political manifesto, personal letter, art installation and even, finally, a computer game.\u003cbr\u003eFor \u003ci\u003eImmemory\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1998 (French) and 2002 (English), Marker used a CD-ROM to create a multi-layered, mixed-media memoir. The reader investigates \"\"zones\"\" of travel, war, cinema and poetry, navigating through image and text as if physically exploring Marker's memory itself. The result is a veritable 21st-century \u003ci\u003eRemembrance of Things Past\u003c\/i\u003e, an exploration of the state of memory in our era. With it, Marker both invented a literary form and perfected it, just before the digital format he chose for the experiment was quickly rendered obsolete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImmemory: Gutenberg Version\u003c\/i\u003e reinvents this unique work for the printed page, a project the author dreamed up, titled, and began working on with Exact Change before his death. Now finally realized, it brings this seminal work into the present and future through a time-tested, durable format of the past: the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Marker\u003c\/b\u003e (1921-2012) served in the French Resistance, and then the US Air Force, during World War II and worked as a journalist while honing his film career. He received international acclaim with \u003ci\u003eLa Jet?e\u003c\/i\u003e in 1962, and became a critical voice in film theory and production as well as a widely admired \"cult\" artist, a filmmaker's filmmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Exact Change","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51276794528018,"sku":"9781878972446","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f3ab0919-7281-4a85-9d1d-c14c14f63189.jpg?v=1747139340","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/chris-marker-immemory-gutenberg-version-9781878972446","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
