Marker, whose name is a pseudonym, also traveled extensively in the late 1950s and made a series of short films that \u201carose from visits to China, Siberia, Israel and Cuba, while a trip to North Korea resulted in this photo-text album entitled Cor\u00e9ennes\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Passenger <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/cm-passengers-nimue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/cm-passengers-nimue.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"cm-passengers-nimue\" width=\"425\" height=\"336\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/cm-passengers-nimue.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.mutanteggplant.com\/vitro-nasu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/cm-passengers-nimue-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a> photo by Chris Marker<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/chris-marker-north-korea_n_6656686?utm_hp_ref=arts&#038;\">More Photos of Chris Marker here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrismarker.org\/2011\/04\/passengers\/\">Passengers<\/a> &#8211; wonderful photographies by Chris Marker <\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Tribute to Chris Marker&#8217;s Double Life  via<a href=\"http:\/\/rhizome.org\/editorial\/2012\/jul\/30\/chris-markers-double-life\/\"> Rhizome<\/a><\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&#038;v=dmHqfKeRhsE#!\">One day in the Life of Arsenevich <\/a> (via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3quarksdaily.com\/3quarksdaily\/2012\/07\/in-memoriam-chris-marker.html\">3quarksdaily <\/a>via Richard Brody the NewYorker) <\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Medvedkin documentaries, Marker made further films on directors. <a href=\"https:\/\/mubi.com\/films\/ak\/trailer\">AK (1985), profiling the location shooting of Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s<\/a> Ran on the slopes of Mount Fuji, included an interview with its 75-year-old director.
