Early Resnais Shorts
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
Discover director Alain Resnaiss hard-to-find documentary shorts of the 1950s! Resnais early work established him as a filmmaker of inimitable sensibility. Set to a text by poet Paul luard and details of Picassos epic antiwar painting, Guernica (Robert Hessens and Alain Resnais, 1950, 35mm, 13 min) is an oddly lyrical call for peace. Le Chant du Styrne (Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, 1958, DVD, 19 min), a commission from Pchiney Plastics, depicts the making of polystyrene as a noble materialdemanding a great deal of knowledge." Chris Marker also assisted on Night and Fog (1955, 35mm, 32 mins), one of the first and most haunting film commentaries on the Holocaust. Toute la mmoire du monde (1956, 16mm, 22 min) is an elegant portrait of Frances Bibliothque Nationale.
Note: Please arrive 30 minutes prior to any screening. Seating is guaranteed up to 15 minutes prior to showtime.
