Colliers du Cinema was the single most influential project in the history of film. Founded in 1951, its visionary contributors - including the likes of Godard, Truffaut, Rivette, and Rohmer - would revolutionize filmmaking and writing. In this authoritative new history, Emilie Bickerton explores the evolution and impact of Cahiers du Cinema, from its early years, to its late-sixties radicalization, its internationalization, and eventual decline. A Short History of Cahiers du Cinema is a testimony to the extraordinary legacy and archive it has provided for the world of cinema today.
