'No Memories. No Plans'.
Chris Marker: French resistance fighter. Poet. Filmmaker. Revolutionary. Time Traveller. Wizard.
Today we lost a time travelling poet, someone who could remember the future, sending and receiving messages through time, images of worlds not yet dreamed, and the words and voices of people long gone. The films of Chris Marker activate our memories and inspire our thoughts, and the CineTrain keeps rolling throgh all the manifestations of the moving image and the living word. Long live the Medvedkin group, long live the cats and the owls. Long live Magic Marker!
