Broadway by Light
Rarely-seen short works by William Klein screen with a Chris Marker classic: mesmerising cinema art.

Broadway by Light (12 mins, France, 1958) is Klein's expressionistic debut film. Contacts (15 mins, France, 1989) sees Klein surveying his photographic contact sheets, identifying the image among a hundred striking variations while Ralentis/Slow Motion (30 mins, France, 1984) is a silent, dreamlike meditation of athletes as movement and time.

Chris Marker's La Jetée (28 mins, France, 1962) is a sublime and influential ciné-roman. Marker, a vital champion of Klein's work, has 'Bill Klein' in a cameo as a 'man from the future'.
