We only know him and we know nothing about him. If I say MK2 to you, you immediately have the image of a local cinema and perhaps the poster fore Padre Padrone on your mind.
But if I tell you Marin Karmitz, you do not necessarily make the link with the director, who became producer and founder of this famous network of MK2 theaters. A bit like you, I discover In G Major that the man who fell into the cauldron of cinema alongside Agnès Varda and Jean-Luc Godard remains first and foremost a man of images. At a time when this esthete enters into dialogue with the Center Pompidou in Paris, through Melee, exhibition nourished by his own collection of photographs, at a time when identities continue to be deadly, I offer you a conversation with this former refugee who chose the best diplomatic passport there is… the 7th art.
