The year 2021 and 2022 mark the centennial of his birth and the tenth anniversary of his passing.

Chris MARKER (1921-2012), best known for his distinctive audiovisual style and use of still images, was a French writer, photographer, documentary film director, multimedia artist and film essayist. He is usually associated with the Left Bank subset of the French New Wave that occurred in the late 1950s and 1960s. He used filmmaking as a way to explore the social and political scenes of his time and developed an unique essayistic style. His work is imbued with recurrent themes of time, memory and nostalgia.
