Abstract

In April 1975, Georges Perec worked incognito in Montreal on the narrative commentary for the documentary Ahô au cœur du monde primitif, directed by Daniel Bertolino and François Floquet. This article describes the working methods of the writer and analyzes his role in this project in the light of the information provided by the director Bertolino himself. The ambiguous narrative position assumed by Perec, neither the author of the original script nor the filmmaker who captured the images, is comparable to that of a silent film narrator.
