About

I need a day to tell the history of a second, a year to tell the history of a minute, a lifetime to tell the history of a day. Jean-Luc Godard

The screenings of Histoire(s) du Cinéma 1998-98, Moments Choisis des Histoire(s) du Cinéma 2000 and Notre Musique (Our Music) 2004 point to Godard's preoccupation with the politics of cinema. Godard's most celebrated early films will be included in the forthcoming program Breathless: French New Wave Turns 50.
