TamTam Books News Friday, January 31, 2003: For those who don't know, Raoul Coutard was the cinematographer for a lot of the early Jean-Luc Godard films. This sounds like a great event. I got this information from the Godard List: French Institute Alliance Francaise 22 East 60th Street New York, NY 10022-1077 (212) 355-6100 An Interview with Cinematographer Raoul Coutard and A Rare Screening of Hoa-Binh, Coutard's 1971 Directorial Debut "His skill helped change the whole conception of film." -- New York Times The French Institute Alliance Francaise is pleased to announce two events that have been added to the Cine-Club film series, Cinematographer Raoul Coutard: The Light and Eye. On February 25th at 6:30 PM, Raoul Coutard will make a personal appearance and will be interviewed, and on February 26th at 7:00 PM, he will be present at a rare screening of Hoa-Binh, his directorial debut. An Interview with Raoul Coutard On Tuesday, February 25th at 6:30 PM, The French Institute Alliance Francaise will screen La peau douce (The Soft Skin), directed by Francois Truffaut in 1964, and filmed by Raoul Coutard. Following the screening, Raoul Coutard will be interviewed by film critic Kent Jones of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and will take questions from the audience. For the past forty years Coutard has realized the visions of many of cinema's greatest filmmakers, while creating an endless list of iconic images through his groundbreaking photography. Working with equal adeptness in high-speed black and white or Technicolor, in the small 1:33 ratio or Cinemascope grandeur, with hand-held camera or gliding effortlessly on tracks, Coutard's career is a textbook of cinematic innovations.
