About the film

Not being able to bring them together, Mitra Farahani instigates a visual, sound and written correspondence between two artists: the writer and filmmaker Ebrahim Golestan, a key figure in Iranian culture, and Jean-Luc Godard. Not knowing each other, they embark on an eight-month email correspondence. Far from passively recording their failure to find a common language, See You Friday, Robinson transforms the exchanges between Godard and Golestan into cinematic material.
