MARSEILLE WITHOUT SUN (MARSEILLE SANS SOLEIL) (France, 1961, 17 min.)
Ciné-Concert: Marseille, The Old Port
Three young people shoot a film celebrating their city, the largest port on the Mediterranean and a muse for filmmakers since the birth of cinema, with dramatic, open-air cinematography reminiscent of the French new wave. The filmmaker is Marseille’s self-taught cinéaste Paul Carpita, son of a dockworker and fishmonger, who was passionate about recording the daily life of the working classes. In French with English subtitles. Directed by Paul Carpita.
All of modern poetry is here . . . the quais, the boats, the dirty room, the great inspiring themes of the literature of the day. – Henri Langlois.
Introduced by Margaret Parsons, Head, Film Department, National Gallery of Art. Castelli performs his original score for keyboard and percussion.
Shown with FAITHFUL HEART (COEUR FIDELE).
