Chronicle of a Summer
Jean Rouch, Edgar Morin / France / 1961 / 90 min.
synopsis
This sociological survey began in 1960 as a project by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin. The film became a manifesto of cinéma vérité and was the first feature-length film in France shot with synchronous sound. Here, cinéma direct approaches combine with the new view of reality as it became established in France.
biography
French sociologist Edgar Morin (1921) worked in the 1960s on a unique, but quite fundamental film, Chronicle of a Summer. In addition to a theoretical base, he also gave the films he worked on their final form.
Jean Rouch (1917-2004) was a visual anthropologist and initiator of the cinema verite movement in France.
