Commemorating the one-year anniversary of Jean-Luc Godard’s death at age 91, this new documentary profiles the iconoclastic auteur (1930–2022) who released more than 140 films. Tracing Godard’s career from Breathless and the French New Wave to his stylistically radical late essays, Godard Cinema includes excerpts and observations from collaborators including Anna Karina, Henri Langlois, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Anne-Marie Miéville, and François Truffaut.

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard (2023, 20 minutes)
Released posthumously, this short film is the culmination of an uncompleted feature project Godard was working on before his death in September 2022. Godard’s final work is a collection of ideas, references, visuals, and notes from his own archives assembled into a mixed-media collage of history, politics, and cinema that gets inside his genius.
