Synopsis
In the 1960s, filmmaker François Thierry began work on a film about his friend, the writer and activist Jean Genet. Throughout the 1970s, the production documented a series of encounters in South America, spanning from Chile to Argentina. However, the film remained unfinished. Fast forward to the present day: Miguel Zeballos takes up the mantle, drawing from Thierry’s discarded footage and concept to embark on a new project. Amidst a wealth of materials, “Jean Genet Ahora” navigates through time with inventive and thought-provoking techniques to craft an energetic portrait of the moment, its creators, and the poet himself.
