Summary "French filmmaker, writer, photographer, and artist Chris Marker is a legendary figure in both art and cinema who has developed a uniquely poetic approach to the filmic essay and documentary.Staring Back presents 200 black-and-white photographs from Marker's personal archives, taken from 1952 to 2006. Central to the book is a series of photographs documenting political protests Marker has witnessed, including the march on the Pentagon in 1967, the events of May 1968 in Paris and the tumultuous 2006 demonstrations protesting the French government's proposed employment policies."--BOOK JACKET
