Little Godard

About This Movie

Little Godard is an intriguing exploration of the filmmaking process, capturing the raw struggle for funding and resources. Hellmuth Costard, in his unique style, uses a Super 8 camera he developed, which gives the whole film a distinct, almost home-made feel. It’s a mix of documentary and performance art that showcases the tension between creativity and financial constraints, all with a personal touch. The pacing is reflective, allowing us to really sit with his frustrations and ambitions, which feels strikingly honest and relatable for anyone familiar with the indie scene.

Little Godard has a niche appeal among collectors due to its unconventional approach and the scarcity of its original formats. Released in 1978, it’s not something you stumble upon often, especially in good condition. The film's DIY ethos resonates with those interested in the intersection of art and commerce, making it a curious piece for anyone delving into avant-garde cinema or the history of independent filmmaking.
