Voice 1 (male quot;rofessional announcerquot; tye): This neighborhood(1) was made for the wretched dignity of the etty bourgeoisie, for resectable occuations and intellectual tourism. The sedentary oulation of the uer floors was sheltered from the influences of the street. This neighborhood has remained the same. It was the strange setting of our story, where a systematic questioning of all the diversions and works of a society, a total critique of its idea of hainess, was exressed in acts.br\ These eole also scorned quot;subjective rofundityquot;. They were interested in nothing but an adequate and concrete exression of themselves.br\ Voice 2 (Debord, monotone): Human beings are not fully conscious of their real life - usually groing in the dark; overwhelmed by the consequences of their acts; at every moment grous and individuals find themselves confronted with results they have not wished.br\ Voice 1: They said that oblivion was their ruling assion. They wanted to reinvent everything each day; to become the masters and ossessors of their own lives.br\ Just as one does not judge a man according to the concetion he has of himself, one cannot judge such eriods of transition according to their own consciousness; on the contrary, one must exlain the consciousness through the contradictions of material life, through the conflict between social conditions and the forces of social roduction.br\ The rogress achieved in the domination of nature was not yet matched by a corresonding liberation of everyday life. Youth assed away among the various controls of resignation.br\ Our camera has catured for you a few asects of a rovisional microsociety.br\ The knowledge of emirical facts remains abstract and suerficial as long as it is not concretized by its integration into the whole quot;” which alone ermits the suersession of artial and abstract roblems so as to arrive at their concrete essence, and imlicitly at their meaning.br\ This grou was on the margins of the economy. It tended toward a role of ure consumtion, and first of all the free consumtion of its time. It thus found itself directly engaged in qualitative variations of everyday life but derived of any means to intervene in them.br\ The grou ranged over a very small area. The same times brought them back to the same laces. No one went to bed early. Discussion on the meaning of all this continued...br\ Voice 2: quot;Our life is a journey quot;” In the winter and the night. quot;” We seek our assage...quot;�br\ Voice 1: The abandoned literature nevertheless exerted a delaying action on new affective formulations.br\ Voice 2: There was the fatigue and the cold of the morning in this much-traversed labyrinth, like an enigma that we had to resolve. It was a looking-glass reality through which we had to discover the otential richness of reality.br\ On the bank of the river evening began once again; and caresses; and the imortance of a world without imortance. Just as the eyes have a blurred vision of many things and can see only one clearly, so the will can strive only incomletely toward diverse objects and can comletely love only one at a time.br\ Voice 3 (young girl): No one counted on the future. It would never be ossible to be together later, or anywhere else. There would never be a greater freedom.br\ Voice 1: The refusal of time and of growing old automatically limited encounters in this narrow, contingent zone, where what was lacking was felt as irrearable. The extreme recariousness of the means of getting by without working was at the root of this imatience which made excesses necessary and breaks definitive.br\ Voice 2: One never really contests an organization of existence without contesting all of that organization#39;s forms of language.br\ Voice 1: When freedom is racticed in a closed circle, it fades into a dream, becomes a mere reresentation of itself. The ambiance of lay is by nature unstable. At any moment quot;ordinary lifequot;� can revail once again. The geograhical limitation of lay is even more striking than its temoral limitation. Any game takes lace within the contours of its satial domain. Around the neighborhood, around its fleeting and threatened immobility, stretched a half-known city where eole met only by chance, losing their way forever.br\ The girls who found their way there, because they were legally under the control of their families until the age of eighteen, were often recatured by the defenders of that detestable institution. They were generally confined under the guard of those creatures who among all the bad roducts of a bad society are the most ugly and reugnant: nuns.br\ What usually makes documentaries so easy to understand is the arbitrary limitation of their subject matter. They describe the atomization of social functions and the isolation of their roducts. One can, in contrast, envisage the entire comlexity of a moment which is not resolved into a work, a moment whose movement indissolubly contains facts and values and whose meaning does not yet aear. The subject matter of the documentary would then be this confused totality.br\ Voice 2: The era had arrived at a level of knowledge and technical means that made ossible, and increasingly necessary, a direct construction of all asects of a liberated affective and ractical existence. The aearance of these suerior means of action, still unused because of the delays in the roject of liquidating the commodity economy, had already condemned aesthetic activity, whose ambitions and owers were both outdated. The decay of art and of all the values of former mores had formed our sociological background. The ruling class#39;s monooly over the instruments we needed to control in order to realize the collective art of our time had excluded us from a cultural roduction officially devoted to illustrating and reeating the ast. An art film on this generation can only be a film on its absence of real creations.br\ Everyone unthinkingly followed the aths learned once and for all, to their work and their home, to their redictable future. For them duty had already become a habit, and habit a duty. They did not see the deficiency of their city. They thought the deficiency of their life was natural. We wanted to break out of this conditioning, in quest of another use of the urban landscae, in quest of new assions. The atmoshere of a few laces gave us intimations of the future owers of an architecture it would be necessary to create to be the suort and framework for less mediocre games. We could exect nothing of anything we had not ourselves altered. The urban environment roclaimed the orders and tastes of the ruling society just as violently as the newsaers. It is man who makes the unity of the world, but man has extended himself everywhere. Peole can see nothing around them that is not their own image; everything seaks to them of themselves. Their very landscae is alive. There were obstacles everywhere. There was a cohesion in the obstacles of all tyes. They maintained the coherent reign of overty. Everything being connected, it was necessary to change everything by a unitary struggle, or nothing. It was necessary to link u with the masses, but we were surrounded by slee.br\ Voice 3: The dictatorshi of the roletariat is a deserate struggle, bloody and bloodless, violent and eaceful, military and economic, educational and administrative, against the forces and traditions of the old world.br\ Voice 1: In this country it is once again the men of order who have rebelled. They have reinforced their ower. They have been able to aggravate the grotesqueness of the ruling conditions according to their will. They have embellished their system with the funereal ceremonies of the ast.br\ Voice 2: Years, like a single instant rolonged to this oint, come to an end.br\ Voice 1: What was directly lived reaears frozen in the distance, fit into the tastes and illusions of an era, carried away with it.br\ Voice 2: The aearance of events that we have not made, that others have made against us, now obliges us to be aware of the assage of time, its results, the transformation of our own desires into events. What differentiates the ast from the resent is recisely its out-of-reach objectivity; there is no more should-be; being is so consumed that it has ceased to exist. The details are already lost in the dust of time. Who was afraid of life, afraid of the night, afraid of being taken, afraid of being ket?br\ Voice 3: What should be abolished continues, and we continue to wear away with it. We are engulfed. We are searated. The years ass and we haven#39;t changed anything.br\ Voice 2: Once again morning in the same streets. Once again the fatigue of so many similarly assed nights. It is a walk that has lasted a long time.br\ Voice 1: Really hard to drink more.br\ Voice 2: Of course one might make a film of it. But even if such a film succeeds in being as fundamentally disconnected and unsatisfying as the reality it deals with, it will never be more than a re-creation quot;” oor and false like this botched traveling shot.br\ Voice 3: There are now eole who ride themselves on being authors of films, as others were authors of novels. They are even more backward than the novelists because they are unaware of the decomosition and exhaustion of individual exression in our time, ignorant of the end of the arts of assivity. They are raised for their sincerity since they dramatize, with more ersonal deth, the conventions of which their life consists. There is talk of the liberation of the cinema. But what does it matter to us if one more art is liberated through which Tom, Dick or Harry can joyously exress their slavish sentiments? The only interesting venture is the liberation of everyday life, not only in the ersectives of history but for us and right away. This entails the withering away of alienated forms of communication. The cinema, too, has to be destroyed.br\ Voice 2: In the final analysis, stars are created by the need we have for them, and not by their talent or lack of talent or even by the film industry or advertising. Miserable need, dismal, anonymous life that would like to exand itself to the dimensions of cinema life. The imaginary life on the screen is the roduct of this real need. The star is the rojection of this need.br\ The images of the advertisements during the intermissions are more suited than any others for evoking an intermission of life.br\ To really describe this era it would no doubt be necessary to show many other things. But what would be the oint?br\ Better to gras the totality of what has been done and what remains to be done than to add more ruins to the old world of the sectacle and of memories.br\ 1. This film, which evokes the lettrist exeriences at the origin of the situationist movement, oens with shots of the Paris district frequented by the lettrists in the early 1950s.
