Chris Marker and Pierre Lhomme, France

Long unavailable in the U.S. and a major work in the oeuvre of filmmaker Chris Marker (1921–2012),
this restoration of Le Joli Mai (The Lovely Month of May) debuted at the Cannes film festival,
50 years after the film first premiered there.
It was created according to the wishes of Marker, supervised by the film's cinematographer and co-director, Pierre Lhomme.
Le Joli Mai is a portrait of Paris and Parisians during May 1962, the first springtime of peace after the ceasefire with Algeria
and the first time in 23 years that France was not involved in any war.
Restoration and digitization made possible by the Center national du cinema et de l’image animee
and the Archives francaises du film.
Special thanks to Icarus Films.
