00:18Chris Marker.
00:21You were driven by an insatiable hunger to explore,
00:24and in doing so, you collected images.
00:28Images of landscapes.
00:32Images of people.
00:36Cats. Owls.
00:39Each image you made was more than a recording.
00:44It was a memory.
00:49Through photographs and film, you documented moments,
00:53objects, and experiences as they existed in reality,
00:58creating a visual record.
01:05Rumor has it there was a sealed envelope in your studio.
01:10In it, instructions on what to do with whatever physical artifacts you left behind
01:14after 91 years of archiving your own life.
01:19But the envelope disappeared.
01:22Its contents forever to be guessed at.
01:32What do they have in common?
01:35All these images.
01:39Can I know you through what you've left behind?
01:42How can I imagine making a movie about you
01:45while knowing you were deliberately elusive?
01:51This movie is your story.
01:54Or at least a version of it.
02:04I'll see you next time.
