History(s) of Cinema

For about ten years, Jean-Luc Godard created one of the most ambitious projects ever seen in cinema's history: a montage of visual and sound archives including film excerpts, photographic reproductions, frame reproductions, literary quotations and musicals together in a stunning film, History(s) of Cinema, examining the history of film as it intensely relates to the history of the 20th century. 

A dense film anthology, History(s) of Cinema is a defense of the Seventh Art as the only art form capable of telling the story of the 20th century as history's first imminently imagistic century, in which “cinema is made from images of the cinema” (Giorgio Agamben).
