Jean-Luc Godard (1930-2022) was a French-Swiss film director, screenwriter, and film critic. He rose to prominence in the 1960s as a pioneer of the French New Wave film movement, and was often regarded as the most influential French filmmaker of the postwar period. From the radical transformation of cinematic storytelling and aesthetic conventions in his feature films of the 1960s, to his political cinema and meaningful collaborations, to his unparalleled exploration of what cinema was and is, to his never-ending fascination with new visual technologies and his reflection and critique on their socio-political role, Godard’s legacy will undoubtedly live on for future generations of artists and filmmakers.
