Here and Elsewhere (1976) dir. Jean Luc Godard. Single channel film, stereo sound, 00:53:00 duration. Gaumont, France.
- "We should construct peace with the help of this gun"
+ documentary essay film focusing on the disparity between the consumption of images of war and the sites of warfare. A french family watches news reports of war and revolution (HERE) while footage of palestinian revolutionaries planning their revolt is gathered in the field (ELSEWHERE)
- "Death is represented by a flow of images and sounds that hide silence, a silence that becomes deadly"
+ the two narrators, perhaps the director and a more objective female voiceover, dissect the stream of images passing through the screen.
- "My daily image will be part of a vague and complicated system where the whole world eneters and leaves at each moment"
+ quotidian scenes of daily life in France are interrupted by everyday domestic scenes.
