Marcel Proust

The only known film footage of Marcel Proust (identified by Canadian professor Jean-Pierre Sirois-Trahan) shows the French writer at a wedding as he descends a staircase unaccompanied, speedily walking past the slower couples to his right.

Title drawn from a passage in 'Swann's Way.' A short bricolage film combining: digital abstractions from the only known film footage of Marcel Proust, intimate documentary video shot on iPhone over two years between North Carolina and New York City, music by Gabriel Fauré, and a brief audio excerpt of Jean-Luc Godard speaking on 'The Dick Cavett Show.'
