Jean-Luc Godard – The Spirit of the Forms
October 9 - 31, 2013
Presented in 16mm!
This commission from Kestrel Productions – a blunt 52 minutes of political sloganeering, with opening and penultimate images (followed by a waving red flag) of fists punching through the Union Jack and readings from The Communist Manifesto . Two films later, Jean-Pierre Gorin would work with Godard to take his left-wing cinema beyond mere agitprop.
Screening with: Pravda (1970, 58m).
