Watch the 1983 French film Sans Soleil (Sunless) as part of Alserkal Avenue and Cinema Akil's summer screening series Here Comes the Sun. The Chris Marker-directed experimental essay-film is a meditation on human memory and features a female narrator reading letters sent to her by a cameraman who is attracted to "two extreme poles of survival" – Japan and Guinea-Bissau. The film will be preceded by the sci-fi short La Jetée, which tells the story of a time-travelling man who realises he has witnessed his own death as a child.
