The original ½ inch video tapes were entrusted to Serge Le Peron in 2012 during the preparation of his documentary Serge Daney : le cinéma et le monde. They have been digitized at INA, but the film remains incomplete due to the absence of two original elements. In 2014, a screening was organized at a university. For the occasion, a DCP was produced from the digital Betacam cassettes with the help of the École nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière. A digital copy was then deposited with the Cinémathèque française, with Jean-Luc Godard's agreement.

Founder of the Cinémathèque française, Henri Langlois helped many cinephiles to discover unseen works, and to create a history of cinema that could be understood not chronologically, but on the basis of connections and associations of ideas. An assiduous spectator, Jean-Luc Godard is imbued with this fundamental initiation: “Langlois knew very well what he was doing with his projections ‘in disorder’ and with his bizarre museum. It was full of nuances and innuendoes. Unexpected comparisons that triggered real reflection. The project for a jointly written and produced “history of cinema” came to an end with Langlois's death in 1977. In 1978, the Conservatoire d'art cinématographique de Montréal invited Godard to give a series of lectures and take over from Langlois, who had taught his “anticourses” there ten years earlier. These were the beginnings of the monumental Histoire(s) du cinéma, conceived in the tradition of Langlois and André Malraux. “The great history is the history of cinema. It's the story of the 19th century that was resolved in the 20th. It is greater than the others because it projects itself and the others are reduced.”
Composed of film fragments and references, Histoire(s) du cinéma is also punctuated by readings and conversations. Godard's presence is constant, whether in deep thought or at work, at the typewriter or the editing table. After producing the first two episodes, Godard invited Serge Daney to join him in conversation. The interviews were filmed on December 3, 1988, in the form of an uninterrupted dialogue, a long, two-voice reflection on cinema and its history, on the role and place of the image in the 1980s, and on the state of the contemporary world. Godard drew on these formulas and quotations for the rest of Histoire(s) du cinéma. Some excerpts from the exchange also appear in episodes 2A and 3B. Part of this conversation was transcribed by Serge Daney in the December 26, 1988 issue of Libération. He describes it as “a lengthy interview, filmed for the possible needs of a pedagogical accompaniment to Histoire(s) du cinéma et de la télévision”.

I am aware of the errors in the subtitles, Premiere's fault, sadly I don't have the time to correct them and if I leave them it's for a reason, even so they are without the errors in the other languages...

Quality improvement and subtitles made by me.

YouTube always lowers the quality and does macroblocking...
Obviously it is not in the highest quality in which it can be found, I try to the maximum, but at least that way more people can enjoy what they say...
