This restoration was made from the internegotive in 2013

by Eclair Group (image) and L.E. Diapason (sound)

with the generous support of the CNC.

One of the challenges posed by every restoration

is to differentiate accurately

between the imperfections originally present on the negative

(which must remain uncorrected)

and those caused by wear and tear.

Inspired by Chris Marker's words of warning "Do not believe more is befier"

we have left uncorrected the mishaps of a temperamental lens,

the lens hood, and hairs in the gate.

LETTER FROM SIBERIA

Fox Lissa Potrikaievna

My beautiful fox

Little sister fox

Princess most wise

What was the use Of creeping into the Ark

Since you'll end as the collar Of the captain's coal?

Eagle, oh eagle

When you walk We see your socks

You fill the goofs with terror

And yet they're befier than you

So why are you always crying out...

(untranslatable into English)

Oh reindeer, sweet and just

Friend of the birds and owls

They nest in your branches

Happy he who has ideas in his head

Happier still he who has birds

Brown reindeer

On a brown plain

Like an old spot of blood On dead leaves

White reindeer

On white snow

Like the beloved's silence

In the midst of silence

When Yves Montand's voice

Comes over the short-wave

The branches of Paris chestnut trees

Come and peer into my window

When our distant friend sings

Warmth and joy spread everywhere

And distances shrink to nothing

When our best friend

Starts to sing

Lovers revolve in time

To the singer's voice

The music extends

The Boulevards of Paris

All the way to the parks of Moscow

Kora noet

Distances shrink to nothing

When my faraway friend

Starts to sing

Bear, bear, file ears

With a belly like a pope's

You give yourself airs In your overcoat

But you don't look happy

You don't want to go home

You don't want to come to my house

You don't want to go to church

You don't want to go to school

You want to walk down the street

Giving candy to the little children
