Chris Marker's

The movie 12 Monkeys by Terry Gilliam was inspired by this short film.

Here is a few minutes from La Jetee, a 27 minute movie.

Well, can you imagine trying to explain this one? Although short films and experiemntal films are not often containing obvious narrative or huge special effects...they are a huge influence on other artists. I know some people who hate Hollywoo and commercial cinema and only like experiemental film or European movies. Sometimes some of the most innovative and special cinematography is to be found in these alternative films.
: mainly because there is a freedom without the pressure of conforming to huge budgets and tyranny of cookie cutter narratives.

There is also something about the texture of the film image that video can't match. I have a lot of problems with video projections, I prefer video being contained in a light box, but film is glorious. Stinking expensive too.
