Focusing on contemporary French documentaries and essay films, this dissertation analyzes how citations, intermediality, and the re-use of pre-existing footage interrogate what archives are, and what they mean. Specifically, I look at this question through the lens of "animation," which I define in two ways. First, by "technical animation," I mean the motion of cinematic frames. Second, "metaphorical animation" refers to movement, but in the sense of feelings, affect, and a personal response to an image. The archives referenced in the title range from actual, tangible archives such as France's national library, to a completely nonexistent archive, such as the use of trickery and fakery to imitate real archival spaces and footage. Chapter 1 considers Alain Resnais, specifically Toute la memoire du monde (1956) (on the Bibliotheque nationale) and Guernica (1950) (where Resnais cuts segments of Pablo Picasso's painting to create a new whole). Chapter 2 discusses Agnes Varda. In documentary Varda par Agnes (2019), her final film, Varda reframes and rewrites footage from a number of her previous films (as well as museum installations), her first-person voice and fluid camerawork creating nuance and contradiction. Chapter 3 uses queer theory to examine two documentaries. Sagat (Pascal Roche and Jerome M. De Oliveira, 2011) considers French gay porn star Francois Sagat, where the "success" of his performance hinges upon an animated audience response - that is, to be sexually satisfied. I then turn to Bambi (Sebastien Lifshitz, 2013) on trans* performer Marie-Pierre Pruvot, wherein her highly personalized voiceover is coupled with still photographs from her own archive. Chapter 4 deals with La Rage du Demon (Fabien Delage, 2016), a mockumentary that purports to fill in the gaps about the lost films of Georges Melies - and a supposedly "cursed" one in particular - these missing films are intangible and metaphorical, and ultimately non-existent. I finish this dissertation by considering the ramifications of technical and metaphorical animation in the many disparate documentary forms that are available globally on streaming platforms such as Netflix.
