Chris Marker was a French writer, photographer, documentary film director multi media artist. Marker is most known for his film La Jetée, a French science fiction short film. La Jetée tells the story of the post-nuclear war experiment in time travel.

La Jetée isn’t like a stereotypical film, it consists entirely of still black and white images, the addition of sound, music and voice overs gives the film a cinematic feel. The cleaver and though out use of the still images and sounds makes the film interesting and helps the viewers connect with the storyline.

The storyline is about a man who travels in and out of time in an experiment to try and discover the fate and the solution to the problems of a post-apocalyptic world during the aftermath of WW3. The experiment results in him getting caught up in a past events that are recreated on an airport viewing pier.
