"We rewrite memory much as history is rewritten.” Lose yourself in the boundaries of memory, place and time in this 1983 masterpiece from French filmmaker, poet and multimedia artist, Chris Marker (La Jetée). A cat temple, horror movies, an animatronic JFK— stream-of-consciousness images and words from Guinea-Bissau, San Francisco, Paris, Iceland, and Japan bleed and swirl into a mind-bending technicolour hallucination. A new portrait of civilization is born. Part travelogue, part essay, part haunting sci-fi dreamscape, there’s nothing quite like Sans Soleil in the history of cinema, especially on the big screen.
Hit pause before the screening—join us in the theatre for a meditative sound bath experience inspired by the audio world of the film and created by Philip Jacobs from Toronto Sound Therapy.
