NYFF Soft Focus: Bertrand Tavernier
October 9, 2016

French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier talks about switching between the roles of director and cinephile in this NYFF Soft Focus interview. Tavernier was at the 54th New York Film Festival with his cinematic love letter, My Journey Through French Cinema.
NYFF Soft Focus is created by filmmakers Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman. The interviews were shot using a 1986 Jupiter-9 85mm, a vintage Russian lens known for its “swirly bokeh,” which gives the videos their distinctive look.
