S4.E1 ∙ Daybreakers Review: What $20M SHOULD Look Like.

Fifty years ago, Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin made Chronique d'un ete. Through a series of vignettes, the film followed the filmmakers as they enquired into the happiness, sadness and everyday lives of Parisians during the summer of 1960, combining the techniques of drama, fiction, provocation and reflexive critique. It is hailed as an experimental landmark in both ethnographic film and cinema in general. But, what has changed fifty years on? What can we learn about life in the UK - are people happy? And, does Rouch and Morin's format still have relevance today? What can we learn from revisiting their influential film? Chronicle of a Winter is the culmination of a three-month long project, re-imagining and re-creating selected scenes from Chronique d'un ete - and answering these pressing questions.

I am an Honors undergraduate at university. This documentary takes place over a two-year period. This film shows media brainwashing, commentary on debates, my 'uniquely English' perspective on the electoral process, how international affairs affect the US election, and all the nuances that lead me to make my decision in the voting booth.
