Each of his films, from \u003ci\u003eLa Jetée\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 Jetée\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\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Exact Change","offers":[{"title":"Immemory: Gutenberg Version | Chris Marker | Paperback | 9781878972446 | New | Memoir 1669776","offer_id":50789368299778,"sku":"1669776","price":60.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71kCqTtAZgL.jpg?v=1792303794","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/immemory-gutenberg-version","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
