Chronopolis cuenta la historia de una ciudad gigantesca que acecha en el cielo colonizada por poderosos inmortales que se han cansado de la vida eterna. La mayor parte de su tiempo se gasta de manera monótona en la construcción de objetos extraños e inusuales mientras espera que el mejor regalo llegue a sus manos.

Director
Between 1965-68, the composer Luc Ferrari collaborated with director Gérard Patris on a series of filmed intimate portraits of great musicians, 'Les Grandes Répétitions' (The Great Rehearsals). Created for the ORTF, and encouraged by its director Pierre Schaeffer, these remarkable films were shown on French TV. They are remarkable not only for their exceptional content, but also for the creative camera work, including dynamic hand-held shots and croppings, and the juxtaposition of music and talk.
