FOR EVER GODARD
www.forevergodard.com

An International Conference on the Work of Jean-Luc Godard

Tate Modern, London, 21-24 June 2001. Sponsored by AGNES B.

For the last fifty years, Jean-Luc Godard's work in cinema and
video has innovated, provoked and inspired. Since the completion
in 1998 of Histoire(s) du Cinéma, an eight-part videographic
experiment in cinema history, Godard's recent work on film and
video has featured strongly in debates about audiovisual art and
culture, especially regarding questions of historical memory,
technological change, and the future of cinema in all its forms. This
historical moment provides the perfect opportunity for a critical
reassessment of Godard's entire corpus and its key role in film
culture. It is the aim of FOR EVER GODARD to meet this
challenge.

FOR EVER GODARD is a four-day international conference to be
held at Tate Modern, London, 21-24 June 2001. It is the first event
of its kind ever to be devoted to Godard's work in Britain. It brings
together both well-established commentators and the younger
generation of critics working in the fields of film and television, art
history, cultural studies, philosophy, music, and literature. It draws
on talent from many different countries and from different
intellectual backgrounds. Participants include Nora Alter, Antoine
de Baecque, Mary Lea Bandy, Zsuzsa Baross, Raymond Bellour,
Janet Bergstrom, Christa Blümlinger, Nicole Brenez, Richard
Brody, Vicki Callahan, Marc Cerisuelo, Ian Christie, Elizabeth
Cowie, Monica Dall'Asta, Angela Dalle Vacche, Chris Darke, Elena
del Rio, Chris Dercon, Jonathan Dronsfield, Thomas Elsaesser,
Jean-Pierre Esquenazi, Wendy Everett, Laetitia Fieschi-Vivet, Jean
Michel Frodon, Gérard Fromanger, Michael Goddard, Jean-Pierre
Gorin, Catherine Grant, André Habib, Peter Harcourt, Vinzenz
Hediger, Leslie Hill, Junji Hori, François Jost, Laurent Jullier,
Roland-François Lack, Trond Lundemo, Catherine Lupton, Colin
MacCabe, Adrian Martin, Annette Michelson, Laura Mulvey,
Maurizia Natali, David Oubinia, Hilary Radner, Jonathan
Rosenbaum, Libby Saxton, Larry Sider, Muriel Tinel, Domietta
Torlasco, Sarah Wilson, Alan Wright, and Cerith Wyn Evans. See
full programme at www.forevergodard.com for abstracts of papers.

The conference will begin at 12.30 on Thursday 21 June and
conclude at 16.00 on Sunday 24 June. It will feature screenings of
rarely seen work by Godard, and will include the UK premiere of
Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville's recent film for MOMA, The Old
Place. The event therefore complements the major Godard
retrospective taking place in June and July at the National Film
Theatre in London. There will be French/English interpreting
facilities, and Tate Modern intend to broadcast the event on the
World Wide Web. FOR EVER GODARD is sponsored by AGNES
B.

The conference is organised around sixteen sessions using a
range of formats: two-speaker sessions, speaker and respondent
sessions, and a number of discussion panels. In every session,
priority will be given to exchange of ideas and genuine debate. The
sessions are based on the following themes:
1. Museum
2. The Old Place
3. Memory
4. Question
5. Thinking
6. 'Godard'
7. Composition
8. Citation
9. Sacred
10. Figure
11. Music
12. Lyric
13. Media
14. History
15. Daney
