We’re thrilled to finally premiere the years in the making essay documentary See You Friday, Robinson by Mitra Farahani (Fifi Howls of Happiness). The film follows the correspondance between acclaimed filmmakers Jean-Luc Godard and Ebrahim Golestan and will premiere during the Berlinale in the Encounters section.
Here’s the film summary:
"We should start with a correspondence, maybe we will not correspond to one another. Ebrahim can send me a letter this Friday, and I'll answer him next Friday. So, see you Friday, Robinson!" And so, Jean-Luc Godard stages himself in his daily thought, wisely desperate, and sends images and words from Switzerland to the other side of the Channel. In his mansion in Sussex, Ebrahim Golestan tries to decode these UFO-messages and skilfully seeks to bring them back to the appearance of reason. And so on, until the day a veil falls over the two Gods on the run. Does the existence of poets still have any meaning in these times of distress?"
