Les années Super 8 / The Super 8 Years

by Annie Ernaux, David Ernaux-Briot Special Screenings

In the winter of 1972, French writer Annie Ernaux and her husband Philippe bought a Super 8 camera that was to become the family's constant companion. Whether traveling with their sons to Chile and Russia, or spending time together in their own home, the life of the French middle-class family was captured on film. In LES ANNÉES SUPER 8, Ernaux comments on the footage from today's perspective in her unique, poetic yet socially analytical way. A cinematic treasure that links the intimate with a decade of history.
