The career of filmmaker Jacques Kebadian (born April 20, 1940, in Paris) is striking for its loyalty to people, ideas and revolutionary ideals. In the 1960s, the author of Trotsky (1967) took part in several far-left groups, a filmmakers’ collective (ARC, Atelier de Recherche Cinématographique/Film Research Studio), and many, often clandestine, interventions. His work then shifted to accompanying internationalist struggles, supporting undocumented migrants, commemorating the Armenian genocide, following artists he was close to, and portraying women in the Resistance whom he admired. We asked him to detail some of the stages on this unique trajectory. The interview was conducted in French, in July 2023, and then translated into English.
