We're Remembering: "The Godard Fiasco"

In 1968, an excited audience awaited the arrival of Jean-Luc Godard, who had been invited to open a series of John Player Lectures at the National Film Theatre.

100 members of the audience accepted the offer to have their money returned, while the remainder stayed for a screening of Godard's Vivre sa vie.
