The End of the World is not Tomorrow

July 2025 •Arabic

Riad Abd Rabbo is a philosophy teacher who collides with the materialistic, utilitarian reality that is completely different from the values he has learnt and teaches his students, such as truth, goodness and beauty, and when he fails to fix what is wrong around him, the philosophy of Al-Dardiri, an old thinker who those around him believe has lost his mind, is confirmed. Riad resorts to the same logic as El Dardiri, who died waiting for aliens to help him come up with solutions to save the world from possible and very near doom.

The Owl's Legacy

July 2025 •French

THE OWL’S LEGACY is an intellectually agile, engaging, and sometimes biting look at ancient Greece, its influences on Western culture—and how many eras have reinterpreted the Greek legacy to reflect their own needs. Each of the 13 episodes is centered on a potent Greek word: from “democracy” and “philosophy” to “mythology” and “misogyny.” Marker convenes and films symposia—meals featuring wine and thoughtful conversation—in locales including Paris, Tokyo, Tbilisi, Berkeley, and an olive grove on Athens’ outskirts. Footage from these banquets is interspersed with archival materials and interviews (often featuring a stylized or distorted owl image looming in the background). Marker’s diverse group of informants includes composers, politicians, classicists, historians, scientists, writers, filmmakers, and actors. Together their contributions form a compelling (and sometimes contradictory) cultural and historical exploration for each theme.
