Jean Luc Goddard – Cinemasters GFT

4 January – 23 February, 2026

GFT celebrates directors and key figures from filmmaking history and gives you the opportunity to watch their work on the big screen.

Few filmmakers have reshaped cinema as profoundly as Jean-Luc Godard. A central figure of the French New Wave, Godard tore up the rulebook, replacing polished studio filmmaking with jump cuts, handheld cameras, fragmented narratives, and an urgent, personal style that made films feel alive in the moment. As both a filmmaker and critic, he championed the idea of the director as author, using cinema to question politics, art, and society itself. His work inspired generations of filmmakers, from Martin Scorsese to Céline Sciamma, to break conventions, follow their own vision, and treat film as a space for experimentation and ideas. 
 
Prompted by the release of Nouvelle Vague, Richard Linklater’s new dramatisation of the making of Breathless, this CineMasters season celebrates Godard not only as a great director, but as a radical force who expanded what cinema could be—and who continues to influence how films are made, watched, and thought about today.
