HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA Chapter1A - Toutes les Histoires, 1988

Histoire(s) du cinéma is a video project begun by Jean-Luc Godard in the late 1980s and completed in 1998. It is always referred to by its French title, because of the wordplay it implies: histoire means both "history" and "story," and the s in parentheses gives the possibility of a plural. Therefore, the phrase Histoire(s) du cinéma simultaneously means The History of Cinema, The Histories of Cinema, The Story of Cinema and The Stories of Cinema. Similar double and triple meaning, as well as puns, are a recurring motif throughout Histoire(s) and much of Godard's work.

The densest of Godard's films, Histoire(s) du cinéma is an examination of the history of the concept of cinema and how it relates to the 20th century; in this sense, it can also be considered a critique of the 20th century and how it perceives itself. The project is considered the major work of the late period of Godard's career; it is alternately described as an essay and a poem.

The film was screened out of competition at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.^[1] Nine year later, it was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1997 Festival.^[2]
