    【Screening at Shanghai Film Festival】Sci-fi short films almost all of which are composed of still pictures and third-person narration.

La Jetée quotes

  • Narrator: The future was better protected than the past.

  • Narrator: He knew that his jailers would not spare him. He had been a tool in their hands. His childhood image had been used as a bait to condition him. He had lived up to their expectations.
