La Jetée and the Redemptive Powers of the Image

Published in Creative Camera (nr. 359, August/September 1999)

Being composed almost entirely of still images but projected as a film, La Jetée is marginal in relation to what is commonly understood to be the cinematic, i.e. movement–the kiné of kinematography–yet it cannot be considered only in terms of photography either. As such it is a seminal work combining photography and cinema and allowing us to interrogate the specificities of both as well as their close interrelations.
