Invitation to Edgar Morin

A sociologist and philosopher, Edgar Morin was one of the first researchers in the humanities to study the cinema, notably with Les Stars (1957), before taking part, alongside Jean Rouch, in the unique experiment of cinéma-vérité that was Chronicle of a Summer (1961). A centenarian since the summer, he observes the world and its representations with acuity and wisdom.

Chronicle of a Summer by Jean Rouch et Edgar Morin (Chronique d’un été, 1961, 1h31)
In Paris during the summer of 1960, Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin interview Parisians on various themes: love, work, leisure, culture or racism - resulting in an original cinematographic experience, close to a ‘cinema-vérité’.
