Le Temps, la mémoire, les images
Philippe Grandrieux
1989 - 36 min - Couleur - France
It starts with a montage of news stories: banal images of the world, our daily diet. Where do the images come from, from what depths and from what obscurity ? Why are there any images at all ?
What is the relationship between the deeds of men, theirs events and acts, and the images that they create ? To represent what and how in order to find what resemblance ? Jean Louis Schefer lends his faces, his voice and his phrasing to Philippe Grandrieux’s film to tell us the story of the birth of images.
