Chris Marker (; 29 July 1921 – 29 July 2012 ) was a French writer, photographer, documentary film director, multimedia artist and film essayist.

Marker is often associated with the Left Bank Cinema movement that occurred in the late 1950s and included such other filmmakers as Alain Resnais, Agnès Varda, Henri Colpi and Armand Gatti.

" 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.

Marker was born Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve.

Some sources and Marker himself claim that he was born in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.

Film critic David Thomson has stated: " Marker told me himself that Mongolia is correct.

" When asked about his secretive nature, Marker has said " My films are enough for them audience.

Marker was a philosophy student in France prior to World War II.

At Esprit, Marker wrote political commentaries, poems, short stories and ( with Bazin ) film reviews.

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.

In 1949 Marker published his first novel, Le Coeur net ( The Forthright Spirit ), which was about aviation.

In 1952 Marker published an illustration essay on French writer Jean Giraudoux, Giraudoux Par Lui-Même.

During his early journalism career, Marker became increasingly interested in filmmaking and experimented with photography in the early 1950s.

Around this time Marker met and befriended many members of what would be called the Left Bank Film Movement, including Alain Resnais, Agnès Varda, Henri Colpi, Armand Gatti and the novelists Marguerite Duras and Jean Cayrol.

In 1952 Marker made his first film, Olympia 52, a 16mm feature documentary about the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games.

In 1953 Marker collaborated with Resnais on the documentary Statues Also Die.

After working as assistant director on Resnais's Night and Fog in 1955, Marker made Sunday in Peking, a short documentary " film essay " that would characterize Marker's unique film style for most of his career.

The film was shot in two weeks by Marker while he was traveling through China with Armand Gatti in September 1955.

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.
