Synopsis
Marker's multimedia memoir traversing the world through photographs, film clips, music and text
Filmmaker, photographer, writer and traveler Chris Marker (1921–2012) never respected the boundaries between genres. His landmark 1962 film La Jetée is made up almost entirely of stills, its one moving image as thrilling as the Lumières’ films must have been for their original audiences. Marker’s films (including the features Sans Soleiland Level Five) continued to stretch the definition of the art, merging at times with the essay, political manifesto, personal letter, art installation, even the computer game. In Immemory, Marker used the format of the CD-ROM to create a multi-layered, multimedia memoir. The reader investigates “zones” of travel, war, cinema and poetry, navigating through photographs, film clips, music and text, as if physically exploring Marker’s memory itself. The result is a veritable 21st-century Remembrance of Things Past, an exploration of the state of memory in our digital era. With it, Marker has both invented a literary form and perfected it.
System requirements: for Macintosh computers running System 7.5 through Mac OS 9 (including the “classic environment” of Mac OS X).

Synopsis
"I claim for the image the humility and powers of a madeleine." Filmmaker, photographer, writer, and traveller Chris Marker has never respected the boundaries between genres. His landmark 1964 film La Jetee is made up almost entirely of stills, its one moving image as thrilling as the Lumieres films must have been for their original audiences. Since then, Marker's films (including the features Sans Soleil, and most recently Level Five) have continued to stretch the definition of the art, merging at times with the essay, political manifesto, personal letter, art installation, even the computer game. In IMMEMORY, Chris marker has used the format of the CD-Rom to create a multi-layered, multimedia memoir. The reader investigates 'zones' of travel, war, cinema, and poetry, navigating through photographs, film clips, music, and text, as if physically exploring Marker's memory itself. This unique work is a veritable 21st century Remembrance of Things Past, an exploration of the state of memory in our digital era. With it, Marker has both invented a literary form and perfected it. IMMEMORY is a CD-Rom that will work on any Macintosh computer running System 7.5 through Mac OS 9 (including the 'Classic environment' of Mac OS X).
