How does one approach the figure of Chris Marker? The Frenchman jokingly described himself as “the most famous unknown director of all time.” One of the first and finest essayists of cinema. The first major filmmaker to seriously blend cinema and digital reality. A man who captured a significant part of the 20th century.

Still from Nostalgia for the Future, 2026

The ultimate tribute from a teacher to an eternal student of cinema, an invitation to discover Chris Marker all over again.

— Shahran Morshed, International Cinephile Society

Rather than a conventional biography, documentary-maker Brecht Debackere chooses to convey the remarkable freedom with which Marker both thought and created.
