Ici et ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere)

Synopsis

Here, a middle-class French family watching TV; elsewhere, Palestinian combatants filmed going about their everyday life, training and death. Godard and Miéville question the very nature of film and shun the “theatre” of the image, the flow of images that don’t add together but cancel each other out and are forgotten, the noise that seeks to smother the silence, the silence that masks death.
