Jean Rouch & Edgar Morin / 让·鲁什、埃德加·莫兰 · 1961
Chronicle of a Summer
Chronique d’un été
Participants answer, perform, and reorganize their experience, then watch the film together and criticize their screen images. Identity moves among lived position, filmed role, and collective discussion, turning the camera from an investigative tool into a participant in the event.
