    Synopsis

    Surveillance is a 10 minute found-footage opera partly inspired by Chris Marker’s La Jetée, a kind of post-human involuntary thriller cinema. The film’s spoken commentary contains an emblematic Godardian quotation which explains the similarity between surveillance tapes and the silent movies of the Lumière Brothers, a cinema before stories or the industrial organisation of shooting materials. It is a topographical record of time and causality where only the people, weather and streets are acting.
