Motion picture DVD - Four Short Films Jean-Luc Godard, Anne-Marie Miéville

Four Short Films (2006) was ECM’s first DVD release. The disc presents four works by by Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville: De l'origine du XXIème siècle, The Old Place, Liberté et patrie and Je vous salue, Sarajevo. Sukhdev Sandhu in the Daily Telegraph described these films as “video-essays, at once personal and political, artistic and abstract, that range across subjects from the role of memory in an amnesiac age to the status of the image in consumerist societies,” concluding: “they have a meditative intensity that is quite beguiling”.
