See You Friday Robinson

Institute History

  • 2019 Sundance Documentary Film Grant

Description

Every Friday has its aphorism, its quote, its image, its edit. An email is sent from London, written by Ebrahim Golestan and a reply is sent back the following Friday from Rolle in Switzerland, written by Jean-Luc Godard. This correspondence seems to hold the promise of an encounter between two ‘Gods on the run’ from the twentieth century, who never found the opportunity to meet. Hypothesis, or the spark to ask ourselves: does the existence of poets still have any meaning in these times of distress? ?That may be,? Nora said, ?but it’s all pretty unsatisfactory.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
