Argos Films
Summary
Argos Films was founded in 1949 by Anatole Dauman (1925-1998). Its library contains many of the masterworks of postwar French cinema. The company, which played a significant role in the New Wave movement, has produced and co-produced nearly forty features and sixty shorts. Over a period of forty years, no other independent French film company has garnered such major awards in France and internationally, including two Palmes d’Or and an Oscar, with films by Alain Resnais, Jean-Luc Godard, Volker Schlondorff, Wim Wenders, Nagisa Oshima.
Considered to be the depository of indispensable and enduring classics of the history of cinema and one of the greatest independent collections in the country, the library also includes some of the most well-known films by Robert Bresson, Chris Marker, Jean Rouch, and Andrei Tarkovski.

Icarus Films
Summary
Icarus Films distributes 10 of Chris Marker’s films, plus his Bestiary, a collection of his short animal films, as well as Far From Vietnam and Class of Struggle—two collaborative productions that he helped initiate. Icarus Films also distributes two films about Marker’s legacy: Dan Geva’s Description of a Memory, a film Marker appreciated being shown alongside with his work, which examines the history of Israel through the lens of Marker’s own 1960 film Description of a Struggle, and To Chris Marker, An Unsent Letter, a posthumous homage by Emiko Omori.
Chris Marker Films at Icarus
- Level Five – A woman “inherits” a task: to finish writing a video game centered on the Battle of Okinawa.
- The Case of the Grinning Cat (2004) – In his newest film, French cinema-essayist Chris Marker reflects on French and international politics, art and culture at the start of the new millennium.
- Remembrance of Things to Come (2001) – Reminiscent of Resnais, Ivens, even Kubrick, but in its deployment of still photographs (as in La Jetée), its theme of history and memory, its subject-skipping montage and rapid shuttle of wit and philosophy it’s pure Marker.
- One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich (1999) – Marker’s homage to his friend and colleague, Andrei Tarkovsky. A unique and intimate portrait of the legendary Russian filmmaker.
- Chris Marker’s Bestiary (1994) – Five Chris Marker short films devoted to animals collected together and available for the first time!
- The Last Bolshevik (1993) – Marker’s tribute to Russian film director Alexander Medvedkin.
- A Grin Without A Cat (1977) – Marker’s epic film-essay on the worldwide political wars of the 60’s and 70’s: Vietnam, Che, May ’68, Prague, Chile, and the fate of the New Left.
- The Embassy (1973) – In one of Chris Marker’s few fiction films, political dissidents seek refuge in a foreign embassy after a military coup d’état in an unidentified country.
- Three Cheers for the Whale (1972) – Noted French documentarian Chris Marker chronicles the history of the whale and, in a more general manner, that of all marine mammals, in the process warning of the imminent destruction of the whale threatened by the fishing industry’s ongoing slaughter.
- Class of Struggle (1969) – Workers at the Yema Watch Factory in Besançon depict their own labor struggles in this collective production initiated by Chris Marker.
- A bientot, j’espere (1968) – Workers at a textile factory on strike in pre-May ’68 France, not just for more money, but for a different way of life.
- The Sixth Side of The Pentagon (1967) – Chronicle of the 1967 Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam protest march on the Pentagon by documentary essayist Chris Marker.
- Far from Vietnam (1967) – The landmark collaboration between Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and Agnés Varda in protest of the Vietnam war.
- Le Joli Mai (1963) – Chris Marker and Pierre Lhomme’s legendary portrait of Paris and Parisians at the close of the Algerian war.

Iskra
Summary
ISKRA, c’est à l’origine l’histoire de Slon (Service de Lancement des Œuvres Nouvelles, « éléphant » en russe) . Et « Slon est né d’une évidence : que les structures traditionnelles du cinéma, par le rôle prédominant qu’elles attribuent à l’argent, constituent en elles-mêmes une censure plus lourde que toutes les censures. D’où Slon, qui n’est pas une entreprise, mais un outil – qui se définit par ceux qui y participent concrètement – et qui se justifie par le catalogue de ses films, des films QUI NE DEVRAIENT PAS EXISTER ! »
