Remembrance of Things to Come is a cinematic exploration of the life and work of photographer Denise Bellon. Using stills from her work and voiceover narration , the film presents a short history of the decades between 1935 and 1955. Directed by Chris Marker with Denise's daughter Yannick, Remembrance of Things to Come is a poignant examination of photography, history, and hope. Beginning with the first Surrealist exhibition and taking us through the Second World War, we see the tumult of these times through the eyes of an idealistic photographer.
