But if you ignore it, you'll miss out on the light.' Renowned Swiss director Thomas Imbach on the 'god of cinema' who has captivated him as a person and a filmmaker throughout his life. When he happened upon images of the ageing grandmaster, he was inspired to embark on a pilgrimage by foot from the lakes of Zurich to Geneva to pay homage to Godard and, at the same time, convince him to film with him. A witty and playful diary, shot on iPhone and 35mm during the trip, in which Imbach the faithful pilgrim looks back over his own career and engages in dialogue with his fascinating role model. A road movie that is literally conceived 'on its own two feet' as a Godardian master class – about how cinema perceives the world and much more." More information...
