Biography

film director

Chris Marker

Chris Marker (born Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve; Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, 1921 - Paris, France, 2012) made Les statues meurent aussi with Alain Resnais in 1953. He then turned to documentary filmmaking with works as Lettre de Sibéria (1957) and Le joli mai (1963), and directing in an almost fifty-years-long career many other films, including the well-known La jetée (1962), Sans soleil (1983) and Le tombeau d’Alexandre (1993), which made him one of the most important militant experimental filmmakers of French cinema.
