Shadow Visionaries Film Series: La Jetée
Thursday, February 5, 2026
6:00 pm
Auditorium
Inspired by the Shadow Visionaries exhibition, the Clark presents a series of twentieth-century French films that echo with meditations on memory and longing. Prepare yourself for fantastical allegories and crumbling, ruined cityscapes.
Filmmaker Chris Marker has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. Marker’s La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images. The nostalgia for architectural photography, captured in Shadow Visionaries, echoes throughout the haunting film. (Run time: 28 minutes)
