Chapter 14 "Cinema History"——The Life Portrayal of Godard

Godard's film history JEAN-LUC GODARD: HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA The large-scale film work "Film History", known as "Portrait of Godard's Life", has finally announced its completion.This is Godard's masterpiece of the century by integrating a large number of film works from ancient to modern times that Godard has seen, loved, and thought about in his life, using his own film language and shooting methods. In the summer of 1999, the eight-week weekly broadcast of "CANAL+" on French TV station "CANAL+" was called the biggest event in the European cultural circle in the 1990s.

"Film History" consists of eight short films with a screening time of more than 270 minutes, all of which are independent and highly concentrated works. In 1997, two films 3A and 4A were screened in the form of film at the Cannes Film Festival, which aroused great repercussions.But Godard has been exploring new topics in the projection field that integrate "traditional analog technology and modern digital technology". This year, his dream for many years finally became a reality in Tokyo, Japan: at the end of July 2000 in Tokyo, "Film History", which was screened in cinemas, finally met with the world.
