If I Had Four Dromedaries

NOV 1, 1966 · 49 MIN · DIR. CHRIS MARKER

Documentary

Composed entirely of still photographs taken by Chris Marker across 26 countries, If I Had Four Dromedaries presents a dialogue between three voices reflecting on the meaning of images and travel. Through this photo-essay form, Marker explores the relationship between still and moving images and the act of seeing itself.
