The May Cahiers includes more details on Film annonce du film “Drôles de guerres”:
It was completely finished and approved by Godard and it mostly consists of still images like La Jetée, many of them scans of pages of the scrapbook-script Godard put together for the never made Drôles de guerres. Nicole Brenez reports that Godard called it one of his best films and compared its format to glancing at paintings while walking through an art museum.
There’s also a couple images from the film, including one that has one of Godard’s selfies pasted together with a still of the final shot of Ashik Kerib.

No subtitles, unfortunately, but the Cinémathèque française just posted
an 80-minute talk with Godard from 1985.

Wow, that’s great, I have never heard of that. It looks like an extension of the series A True History of Cinema and Television he did in Montreal. Interesting is the final note on the program, which is an interesting A/B projector comparison between two films (the first 5 minutes of the 2nd reel of each film), the final extract being exclusive rushes coming from Rock X, presumably the latest Godard film?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it - it looks like this was done to celebrate the publication of Godard on Godard, but I don’t recall a mention of that project in either volume (Volume 2 was published in the late 90’s).

Thanks for the link to that 80-minute talk with JLG from 1986.
First impression, once again (and again and again with him): Oh my goodness, how intelligent that man was. It's a blessing that we have been around while he was doing his work.

Quick reminder, as I can't recall what film and where in it this scene is -
in what Godard film, do we see the musicians/orchestra playing the soundtrack on-screen?
I remember it is in one of the 80's films, but can't remember which one it is, and where in the film the scene takes place (should be the end if I recall correctly).

That description could potentially describe more than one of his films, but it sounds like Prenom Carmen.

Every Man for Himself - in the film’s final sequence, an orchestra plays near a highly trafficked roadway.

New work exploring books quoted in Godard films,
Reading with Jean-Luc Godard, coming later this year (and co-edited by my former professor, who was obsessed with books shown in films)
Shipping now, and you can get a discount on their earlier Godard book (or the Bazin book if you’re in Canada) by bundling them

Are there any resources that explore Godard’s use of music, or even just catalogue the music he has used in his films? I’m particularly interested in what I guess I’d call “the ECM era”: For Ever Mozart, Notre Musique, etc. The composers are usually listed in the credits but not the works.

Film titles should be readable so one gets the idea regarding the scope of the book. Again, german only so probably only of anecdotal relevance for die hard Godardiens around the world. I have the book at home, just in case…

This is definitely Deleuze and is available in print in the collection of interviews with him entitled “Negotiations”. It is a great introduction to Deleuze and film in general. He discusses Renais as the successor to Welles in a very accessible way.

Film annonce du film qui n'existéra jamais: 'Drôles de guerres', complete with big "PROPERTY OF (studio)" watermark, has leaked and is now circulating around on backchannels

Besides the watermark, it also has simplified subtitles compared to the version Kino Lorber distributed to theaters, which translates more of the onscreen text and also positions the subtitles to more clearly indicate what's being translated. I assume the theatrical version reflects what they'll release on disc next month.

At the beginning of Numéro deux, who is the "Marchand" Godard refers to, the one who's with the State Department in Washington? FWIW, the English subtitles I have unhelpfully replace Marchand's name with "what's-his-name" (even though subtitles in other languages will clearly say "Marchand"). Also the scene makes one appreciate the wordplay Godard packs into his films - in this case, blatantly playing "Marchand" off of "machines" - while making one realize how much is missed in his films if you aren't able to catch any of the words. You can make out what he's doing phonetically, but for someone with no fluency in the language, you might end up tuning out what you're hearing while focusing entirely on the subtitles.
