Cineastes

Who is Pierre Rissient? Clint Eastwood, Bertrand Tavernier, Quentin Tarantino and Abas Kiarostami describe how Rissient became a driving force for film makers in international independent cinema, and how film directors can transcend borders and redefine the values of their art. Along with the producer Mari Pierre Macia and the director of Arte, Michel Reilhac, they give survival lessons to a young Greek director and guide him though the international prospects of modern cinema with examples that encourage him to keep on expanding the creative potential of Greece.
