A trailer for the documentary about the excellent comics creator Guy Delisle, best known for his wonderful travel books such as Shenzen, the Burma Chronicles or his most recent Jerusalem: Chronicles From the Holy City which scored honours at Angoulême (the English language edition is due from D&Q this spring, it’s already on my Must Read Radar). From the description:
“Captured over the course of a 1 year period in the south of France, the film follows the gradual realization of Guy’s latest travelogue ‘Jerusalem Chronicles’ and includes an in-depth look at Shenzhen, Pyongyang, Burma Chronicles aswell as an intriguing insight into the rise of the independent graphic novel. Equally explored are Guy’s beginnings in animation, his studio, his inspiration, his career thus far and the travelogues that never saw print: Vietnam and Ethiopia.”
