La jetée

La jetée is a 1962 French science fiction film from the French new wave era. This film was shown to us in the week 2 lecture. Something interesting I discovered from watching the film was the connection between this weeks reading on the theory of musical jamming and the technical creation of the film. The film uses old technology (that of still images and black and white) and creates an innovative narrative by using these techniques in unique and different ways; similar to the way that musicians create new melodies while using set techniques. I am posting this video as it strikes my personal interests in film and science fiction as well as being a future example in my essay.
