Chris Marker: 29 July, 1921 - 30 July, 2012

“I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst? “
- Chris Marker

Nora Ephron: May 19, 1941 - June 26, 2012

 "You do get to a certain point in life where you have to realistically, I think, understand that the days are getting shorter, and you can't put things off thinking you'll get to them someday," she says. "If you really want to do them, you better do them. There are simply too many people getting sick, and sooner or later you will. So I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it."

The great journalist, essayist, novelist, playwright, screenwriter and director Nora Ephron has passed away.

Here is the New York Times announcement, and here is a great interview with NPR.

Le Quattro Volte.

<< It's a film about the bond between man and nature. Cinema is one of those instruments by which man is placed at the center. ...​We tried to bring out what is usually a background in film and culture: animals, plants, objects. In the film's central sequence plans emerge and conquer the scene in search of a new covenant with man, a new equilibrium.

So the story is told through the environment, from the image itself. The challenge of the film was to have a particular character, which is invisible. There are four protagonists: the pastor, the goat, a tree and then the coal, but in fact the real protagonist is a soul. We filmed the bodies to capture this presence inside. It is a film surface, but with persistence and a belief that the machine can capture this essence. >>

- Michelangelo Frammartino
