"Video games are the first stage in a plan for machines to help the human race, the only plan that offers a future for intelligence. For the moment, the inseparable philosophy of our time is contained in the Pac-Man... Perhaps because he is the most perfect graphic metaphor of man's fate, he puts into true perspective the balance of power between theindividual and the environment. And he tells us soberly that though there may be honour in carrying out the greatestnumber of victorious attacks, it always comes a cropper." - Chris Marker, Sans Soleil

He became internationally known for the short film La Jetée (1962). It tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel by using a series of filmed photographs developed as a photomontage of varying pace with limited narration and sound effects.

In the 2007 Criterion Collection release of La Jetée and Sans Soleil, marker included a short essay entitiled "Working on a shoestring budget". He confessed to shooting all of Sans Soleil with a silent film camera and recording all the audio on a primitive audio cassette recorder. Marker also reminds the reader that only one short scene in La Jette is of a moving image, only being able to borrow a movie camera for one afternoon while working on the film.

Chris Marker lives in Paris and does not grant interviews. When asked for a picture of himself, he usually offers a photograph of a cat instead. His cat is named Guillaume-en-egypte.
