SANS SOLEIL | 1983 | 100’

Synopsis

A meditative exploration of memory, time, and cultural identity, Sans Soleil weaves together footage from around the globe, including Japan, Guinea-Bissau, and Iceland. Presented as letters written by a fictional traveler, the film reflects on the fragile nature of human recollection and the tension between permanence and transience in a rapidly changing world. Combining poetic narration with evocative imagery, it transcends traditional documentary form to offer a profound philosophical reflection on existence.
