Video: Interview with Pierre Rissient

Pierre Rissient, guest of honor at the 12th FICM, is one of the most influential persons in world cinema. He has been a key figure in the Cannes Film Festival for more than 40 years and he has even earned the nickname of the “Samurai Warrior” of the guild, as he has been a regular supporter of the projects and directors he believes in. In Morelia, he gave us an interview in which he reflects on the problems of film criticism today, the role of the film director as a craftsperson and the visibility of South American cinema, among other topics.
