Chris Marker Series in Chicago and San Diego
From January 2 through February 2, the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago presents Chris Marker: Travels in Time and Space, a series of seven films by the French master of the cine-essay. Featured is the Chicago premiere of the First Run / Icarus Films release Remembrance of Things to Come, a dense, dazzling 2001 work that shows the 80-year-old filmmaker still at the top of his form.

Then, from January 8 through January 31, the Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) in San Diego, California presents a Chris Marker Retrospective, which like the Chicago series features several Marker films available from First Run / Icarus Films.
