Jean-Luc Godard, a film director representing the Nouvelle Vague, released “Here and Elsewhere”
in 1976. This s a representative work of the experimental approach that characterized his creative
work in the 1970s, in which the “montage technique” using video is particularly prominent. The
film was originally intended to be a film for the Palestinian resistance movement, using footage that
Godard and others filmed while they were undercover in Palestine during the 1960s and 1970s, but
after the movement was defeated, the content of the film was drastically changed and made as a work
of reflection and introspection. In addition to its content, this film attempts various experimental
expressions are attempted in the technique of montage (editing), which is a characteristic of Godard’s
films, by utilizing video, which was a new technology at the time. In this research, I will take up “Here
and Elsewhere”, focus on sequence construction, and attempt a practical analysis of the montage
technique. In addition, we consider the effect caused by the technique.
