watching...
"Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments. 
Later on they do claim remembrance when they show
their scars. That face he had seen was to be the only 
peacetime image to survive the war. Had he really 
seen it? Or had he invented that tender moment to 
prop up the madness to come?"
                                        -La Jetée
28 min. released february 1962. 
writer/director: chris marker


are substantial memories so haunting because we need them to withstand 
the weight of the meanings that are assigned? which images are real, 
and which do you rely upon to get you through the day?
