Jean-Luc Godard, the famed figurehead of 1960s New Wave cinema, conducted one of the more unusual press conferences seen at the Cannes film festival by answering questions via FaceTime.
At a Cannes press conference for his 2005 film Notre Musique the director invited a representative from the French actors and technicians’ union to speak in his stead.
Yet shortly before the start of the press conference it was announced that Godard would be appearing after all, albeit on an iPhone held up by his cinematographer Fabrice Aragno.
It is not the first time that Godard has taken an idiosyncratic approach to press duties.
