Message De Salutations: Prix Suisse / Remerciements / Mort Ou Vif by Jean-Luc Godard (world premiere 13.03.2015)[Message Of Greetings: Prix Suisse / My Thanks / Dead Or Alive] by Jean-Luc Godard (world premiere March 13th, 2015)On Friday, March 13th, 2015, in Geneva, Switzerland, Jean-Luc Godard was awarded the 2015 “Prix d’honneur du cinéma suisse” with its corresponding allotment of 30,000 Swiss francs (at present = €28189,46 Eur or $29,909.52 Usd), on the basis of being a “visionary filmmaker,” “a virtuoso of film-editing,” whose “avant-garde” works have done much to inspire the young.

I just finished production on Claude Lanzmann’s The Last of the Unjust and have barely said goodbye to David Teboul, a young director who I worked with on Cinq avenue Marceau (2002), a film I think very highly of and that’s about Yves Saint Laurent’s last collection.
