Sans soleil: Letters read by Alexandra Stewart
In 'La Jetee', which is told almost entirely in stills, the viewer is taken on the journey of a man who is travelling from the future back to his childhood. 'Sans Soleil' is an audio-visual mix of footage filmed in Africa, Japan, Iceland, France and the USA. The result is a study of the 'dreams of the human race' which looks at the banal, the exotic and the popular culture of classic movies and video games, and contrasts these images with the forgotten misery of the Third World
Sans soleil: Actress Alexandra Stewart reads and comments on the letters she receives from (fictional) Sandor Krasna, a world-traveling freelance cameraman. Explores the immense diversity of the human species and its differing societies
