Chronographies

Chronography: At the time of the making of this film, I had given this title, thinking I was making a neologism: kronos and graphein, or the inscription of time. It was only 36 years later, at random, from a reading on the pre-Socratics, about Eusebius of Caesarea, that I discovered that the word existed in the dictionary and that it came from the Greek and referred to a kind of narrative year by year, falling between the chronology (short) and the annals. The film, originally silent, also exists in a version accompanied with music composed by Jean-Philippe Feiss in 2020.
