Films and analyses
The camera withdraws to hold the figure, then advances into a corridor that now belongs to her home. False continuity detaches space from action’s coordinates.

Pour la suite du monde
Pour la suite du monde · 1963
Pierre Perrault & Michel Brault / 皮埃尔·佩罗、米歇尔·布罗 · Canada
Reviving the beluga hunt is both action and storytelling. Filming reorganizes communal memory and produces collective utterances that prefigure a people to come.
Alexis and Perrault become intercessors for one another through the journey to France. The search does not restore a fixed origin; character, filmmaker, and Québec's collective voice change together through storytelling.

Self Made
Self Made · premiered 2010 / released 2011
Gillian Wearing / 吉莉安·韦尔林 · United Kingdom
Documentary performance training and fictional roles alternate between clarity and opacity; identity shifts continuously through performance.
Six bodies generate multiple Dylans through heterogeneous attitudes, voices, and bodily surfaces.

Police, Adjective
Polițist, adjectiv · 2009
Corneliu Porumboiu / 科内利乌·波隆波尤 · Romania
Dictionary, blackboard, command, attitude, and rank assemble bodies into institutional ritual; gestus is a configuration of social relations.
Black stage, white lines, and invisible doors turn setting into a map of thought and reveal space as a relational machine.
City, memory, body, and possible futures interweave; viewing proceeds by reading relations among image strata.

The Hour of the Furnaces
La hora de los hornos · 1968
Fernando Solanas & Octavio Getino / 费尔南多·索拉纳斯、奥克塔维奥·赫蒂诺 · Argentina
Montage, intertitles, pauses, and discussion organize projection as political action. Because the film presupposes a revolutionary people available to be addressed, it becomes a decisive comparison for testing the boundary of Deleuze's claim that the people are missing.

A Ridiculous Kind of Country
Un pays sans bon sens! · 1970
Pierre Perrault / 皮埃尔·佩罗 · Canada
Isolated figures question Québec belonging from different positions, turning country into a problem no single representative can close. Disagreement, relay, and transformation form collective utterances directed toward a people to come.

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
Bir Zamanlar Anadolu’da · 2011
Nuri Bilge Ceylan / 努里·比格·锡兰 · Turkey
Headlights repeatedly illuminate similar slopes and fountains, yet the suspect can only answer 'not here.' The search accumulates no mastery of the steppe; it releases wind, an apple rolling into a stream, car conversations about illness and family, and the pause produced when the mayor's daughter serves tea. Even after the body is found, transported, and examined, the doctor suppresses a detail that could alter responsibility. Procedure finishes while the event remains unexhausted: the time of death stays among landscape, fatigue, and a judgment left unwritten.

Meeting with Pol Pot
Rendez-vous avec Pol Pot · 2024
Rithy Panh / 潘礼德 · Cambodia / France
Re-enactment, archive, and absent bodies suspend genocidal time; this is a contemporary time-/death-image analysis advanced by the 2025 issue.
Film stills and scene analysis
64 scene analyses describe images, sounds, characters’ actions, and temporal relations. Bilibili viewing links accompany 16 of the films.
Theory unfolds inside the shot
Each essay begins with continuous scenes and connects them to primary passages, seminar records, cited scholarship, and atlas analysis.
Ask whether it merely supplies causal information; time becomes the issue only when distinct sheets of past coexist without reducing to one recollection.
A mirror is only a formal clue; a crystal requires actual and virtual to exchange while remaining indiscernible.
Duration is not the conclusion; ask whether persistence, waiting, and intervals subordinate movement to time rather than merely slowing action.
Edition, source-label, and viewing notes
