DESCRIPTION:Director: Chris Marker. Starring: Catherine Belkhodja. France 
 1997. 104 mins. French and Japanese with English subtitles.\n\nThis is a o
 ne-off opportunity to see a rarely shown film by enigmatic French director
  Chris Marker. Best known for LA JETÉE (1962)\, an apocalyptic time trave
 l tale (the basis for Terry Gilliam’s TWELVE MONKEYS)\, Marker has devel
 oped a unique approach to documentary\, as seen in SUNLESS (1983)\, which 
 weaves together images from Africa and Japan in a series of letters from a
  fictional cameraman. \n\nLEVEL FIVE brings together many themes evoked in
  these earlier films\, in a remarkable exploration of memory and commemora
 tion in the age of the internet. It investigates the horrific battle of Ok
 inawa in 1945 through the framework of a fictional narrative about a Frenc
 h woman gathering documents and witness accounts while coping with bereave
 ment. \n\nThe screening will be introduced by Isabelle McNeill\, author of
  _Memory and the Moving Image: French Film in the Digital Era_ (EUP 2010) 
 and is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust in association with the Mphil
  in Screen Media and Cultures\, University of Cambridge.\n\nBookings: http
