Chris Marker. His friend and sometime collaborator Alain Resnais has called him "the prototype of the twenty-first-century man. "[2] Film theorist Roy Armes has said of him: "Marker is unclassifiable because he is unique...The French Cinema has its dramatists and its poets, its technicians, and its autobiographers, but only has one true essayist: Chris Marker.
"[2] Early life[edit] During this time period, Marker began to travel around the world as a journalist and photographer, a vocation he would continue the rest of his life. Early career (1950–1961)[edit] During his early journalism career, Marker became increasingly interested in filmmaking and experimented with photography in the early 1950s. In 1952 Marker made his first film, Olympia 52, a 16mm feature documentary about the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games. After working on the commentary for Resnais' film Le mystère de l'atelier quinze in 1957, Marker continued to form his own cinematic style with the feature documentary Letter from Siberia. Sans Soleil. Description[edit] Expanding the documentary genre, this experimental essay-film is a composition of thoughts, images and scenes, mainly from Japan and Guinea-Bissau, "two extreme poles of survival".[1] Some other scenes were filmed in Iceland, Paris, and San Francisco.

Despite the film's modest use of fictional content, it should not be confused with mock-documentary. The fictitious content functions as a device to assist meaning in the film which, along with its occasionally nondescript movement among locations and lack of character-based narrative, is largely derived from the juxtaposition of narrative and image.

The method of loci (loci being Latin for "places") is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualizations with the use of spatial memory, familiar information about one's environment, to quickly and efficiently recall information.

This method is a mnemonic device adopted in ancient Roman and Greek rhetorical treatises (in the anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero's De Oratore, and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria).
Many memory contest champions claim to use this technique to recall faces, digits, and lists of words. These champions' successes have little to do with brain structure or intelligence, but more to do with using spatial memory[1] and the use of the method of loci.
