According to the early Godard film Le Petit Soldat (The Little Soldier), “photography is truth, and film is truth 24 times per second”. In his Silenzio! series, French photographer François Fontaine puts truth, the perception of memory and reality to the test – by photographing films. For just a fraction of a second. You can see a comprehensive portfolio of his atmospheric, associative work in the latest issue of LFI 4/2015. Fontaine went through countless movies for his project – his favourite films and those that have made history. Do you recognize them? Put your film knowledge to the test!
