Movie Clip

Letter From Siberia (1957) -- (Movie Clip) From A Distant Land Opening the first feature length documentary by the French experimental filmmaker Chris Marker, written in English and spoken in the first person though not by Marker himself, photography by Sacha Vierny, produced by Anatole Dauman, Letter From Siberia, 1957.
Letter From Siberia (1957) -- (Movie Clip) Chinese Word For Mammoth Further idiosyncratic exposition from French writer-director Chris Marker, who moves from traditional regional folk song with documentary camera, suddenly to quirky animation, in his first full length quasi-documentary, Letter From Siberia, 1957.
Letter From Siberia (1957) -- (Movie Clip) Objectivity Isn't The Answer Again speaking in the first person, French filmmaker Chris Marker observes the Russians’ affection for his friend, the singer Yves Montand, whom he apparently delivers via loudspeaker, then one of the most famous passages, three different commentaries on the same film sequence, Letter From Siberia, 1957.
