Les Statues meurent aussi
Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Ghislain Cloquet
1953 - 30 min - 35 mm - Noir & Blanc - France

Focusing on African art, and specifically on statues and masks, Alain Resnais’s film is a passionate plea against the until then unsuspected wrongdoings of colonialism: it has destroyed all the inner richness of pantheistic and magic culture of these regions, to slowly replace it by mass production, serving commercial and venal purposes...
