Original Marker, Chris Movie Posters

Chris Marker movie posters document the output of French cinema's most elusive and philosophically rigorous filmmaker — a director whose essay films, documentaries, and political meditations generated theatrical materials as unconventional as the works themselves. Marker's materials circulate in limited quantities in the specialist art-cinema collector market, and serious examples rarely appear outside the Paris and New York specialist trade. Find original Marker campaign materials from his most celebrated productions. La Jetée (1962), his landmark short constructed almost entirely from still photographs, produced a small number of theatrical screening materials in France and internationally — now among the most sought-after items in the French film collector market. Sans Soleil (1983), his meditation on memory, Japan, and Guinea-Bissau, generated similarly limited theatrical circulation across art-cinema venues. A Grin Without a Cat (1977) was revised and re-released multiple times, producing distinct poster editions across different markets and decades. Materials from the French political documentary tradition that Marker helped define — including his work with the SLON film collective in the late 1960s — are genuinely scarce and rarely surface in collector-grade condition. His influence on subsequent generations of essay filmmakers sustains serious scholarly and collector interest in any surviving theatrical materials. The scarcity of genuinely fine examples makes any appearance significant. Browse alongside our drama and Last Year at Marienbad collections.
