Paris Calligrammes is a rich, kaleidoscopic torrent of archival audio and visuals, paired with Ottinger's artwork and excerpts from her films. She compellingly resurrects the old Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Latin Quarter, with their literary cafés and jazz clubs, and revisits encounters with Jewish exiles, life with her artistic community, the worldviews of Parisian ethnologists and philosophers, the political upheavals of the Algerian War and May 1968, and the legacy of the colonial era.
