If I Had Four Camels Si j'avais quatre dromadaires A narration of experiences accompanied by some of the countless still images Chris Marker captured through his photo camera, while travelling to 26 countries. A few years following the futuristic short film La Jetée, Marker once again took a stab at inserting still images, this time on the occasion of a documentary, as part of his experimentation on the genre’s form. The outcome went far beyond the definition of a travel diary, as Marker’s narration and the miscellaneous images (from Mount Athos all the way to China) become the components of a tight montage that conjoins smaller stories for the sake of the bigger picture – an analysis of the social political and cultural contrasts that become evident in the eyes of the visitor, while joining the dots of our small planetary village.
