Jean-Luc Godard Partner: Who is Anne-Marie Miéville?

Anne-Marie Miéville is a Swiss video and filmmaker whom Sight & Sound has called a hugely important multimedia artist. She was the wife of Jean-Luc Godard.

Anne-Marie Miéville was practising photography when she met Jean-Luc Godard, who would become her companion, in Paris in 1970.

From 1973 until 1994, she collaborated with Godard as a photographer, scriptwriter, film editor, and co-director, assuming the role of artistic director on some of their projects.

In 1983, she realized her first short film, How Can I Love; her second, The Book of Mary followed one year later.

In 2002, Anne-Marie Miéville wrote Images en parole, a set of short texts published by Leo Scheer, who wrote that they are a “continuation of static shots, short films of the writing. It is not strictly speaking about novels, but rather of unspeakable moments escaped flavours of images, where it would be a question of filming with words”.
