Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur

Visual artist Chris Marker puts together the essay film Le Souvenir d'un Avenir (Remembrance of Things to Come). Through montage and narration, the film is a lesson in art history particularly focusing on the life and work of photographer Denise Bellon from 1935 to 1955 (co-director Yannick Bellon is her daughter). The film covers a wide range of personal and political topics approached in the director's trademark style, mostly concerning surrealist art and cinema in Paris and Europe, in general, before, during, and after WWII.
