At the time of Godard’s assisted death on 13 September 2022, he had been working on his final feature, Scénario, but in the days before this, Godard instructed his assistants Jean-Paul Battaggia and Fabrice Aragno to complete the feature in two segments: Scénarios (18 mins); and Exposé pour un film annonce du film ‘Scénario’ (36 mins). This gift of two more ‘last films’ from Godard layers paintings, collage, film, stills, texts and sounds, and includes a rare text from Sartre read on screen by JLG himself. This last glimpse of Godard at work is extremely poignant.

We are honoured to present these films, and our deep and sincere thanks go to Mitra Farahani and Écran Noir Productions.

The screening will be introduced by Martin McCabe, School of Media and GradCAM, TU Dublin.

This screening will be preceded by short film Salut les Cubains (dir. Agnès Varda, 1963).
