‘See You Friday, Robinson’ vying at Vancouver filmfest

‘See You Friday, Robinson’ has been vying at the 2022 edition of the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) in Canada.

Written and directed by Mitra Farahani, the 96-minute documentary is a coproduction from France, Switzerland, Iran and Lebanon.

The documentary provides an affectionate depiction of an encounter between the breathless titans, Jean-Luc Godard and Iranian filmmaker and literary figure Ebrahim Golestan.

They engage in long-distance exchanges of quotations and cryptic statements.

Their dialogs, which should have taken place long ago in the last century, inevitably consist of weighty themes such as humanity, time, art and death.

The annual VIFF includes “some of the best cinema from around the globe, talks, conferences, live performances and other unique events that celebrate film and film culture,” an online submission platform reads.

The 41st edition of the VIFF has been slated for September 29-October 7, 2022.
