Ici et ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere)

France 1976, 53 min, English subtitles

Pictures and sounds from Palestine, Nazi Germany, Latin America and Vietnam are cut, intermixed and transposed. At times disturbing, this montage zeroes in on the arbitrariness of film as a medium for reflecting reality and conflict. It is also a work of self-criticism, dissecting Godard’s own manipulative 1970 portrayal of the struggle of the PLO.
