Far from Vietnam
In 1967, Alain Resnais, William Klein, Joris Ivens, Agnès Varda, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Luc Godard, and Chris Marker co-directed this film to express their solidarity with the struggle of the Vietnamese people. Each offers a distinct and personal perspective on this conflict, set against a backdrop of international public anger and mobilization.

Far from being a documentary about Vietnam, the film offers a reflection on this imperialist war. Each filmmaker individually directed a segment, contributing distinct perspectives and forms to a collective statement on the conflict. Every filmmaker involved in this collective experience brought their own style — reportage for Joris Ivens, or distanced commentary for Godard — shaping the film’s fragmented, polyphonic structure. Behind these well-known names were the more anonymous contributions of 150 collaborators who all worked voluntarily and chose not to individually sign the images or texts they provided to the collective work. This working method, avant-garde for its time, would go on to influence many productions throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
