La Jetée

Assembling the Silver Shadow video made me recall (from film studies at York University) an important still-montage film. La Jetée (1962) by Chris Marker was a milestone experimental film. Composed entirely of stills (with one short exception) La Jetée deals with a group of nuclear war survivors living below Paris. This one is a veritable "ace up your sleeve" if you are having a conversation with serious art-house film enthusiasts. In my case it is probably the only real avant-garde film I know - so I would be quickly unmasked. Anyway - you can see it here - It's only about 25 long minutes and quite watchable.
