French filmmaker Romain Thomassin has exclusive rights to bring his short documentary on Hunter Thompson and San Francisco to the GonzoFest New Orleans. So he’ll show it to us in person. The only showing in the United States. Click here to see it posted on Arte TV France, but blocked from view outside Europe.
He writes:
The film was aired in France, Germany and Belgium, and I think got very positive reactions–at least from the people I shared it with . . .As soon as it was aired, I asked permission from the production company to show it at Gonzofest and to send me the original files, so that you can not only watch it (it is currently blocked on Arte’s website, only visible in Europe), but watch it without French dubbing on top of your voice and other guests’ voices. I got approval and currently have the file. I am now in the process of translating and subtitling the “French commentary,” which is the main narrative (when you are not speaking). Doing it for you and for the audience at GonzoFest.What about I send you everything by the end of this week?Yes, confirming I’ll be at GonzoFest, and excited about it. Don’t worry about plane tickets and hotels. I’ll figure something out :) 25 minutes sounds good. The film is 14 minutes + 10 minutes of conversation / q&A sounds very good.
This is an exciting part of our Opening Night. Come join us. May 16, 2025 at the Garden District Book Shop! Tickets at the door. One day:$10. All weekend: $20.
