A rare interview with Chris Marker on the eve of his first DVD releases. A lovely quote from Marker: "The DVD technology is obviously superb, but it isn't always cinema. Godard nailed it once and for all: at the cinema, you raise your eyes to the screen; in front of the television, you lower them. Then there is the role of the shutter. Out of the two hours you spend in a movie theater, you spend one of them in the dark. It's this nocturnal portion that stays with us, that fixes our memory of a film in a different way than the same film seen on television or on a monitor." link to the full interview: http://www.filmlinc.com/fcm/5-6-2003/markerint.htm
