''Histoire(s) du cinéma'' () is an 8-part video project begun by Jean-Luc Godard in the late 1980s and completed in 1998. The densest, at 266 minutes the longest, and one of the most difficult of Godard's films, ''Histoire(s) du cinéma'' is an examination of the history of the concept of cinema and how it relates to the 20th century; in this sense, it can also be considered a critique of the 20th century and how it perceives itself. The project is considered the most important work of the late period of Godard's career. ''Histoire(s) du cinéma'' is always referred to by its French title, because of the word play it implies: ''histoire'' means both "history" and "story," and the ''s'' in parentheses gives the possibility of a plural. Therefore, the phrase ''Histoire(s) du cinéma'' simultaneously means ''The History of Cinema'', ''Histories of Cinema'', ''The Story of Cinema'' and ''Stories of Cinema''. Similar double or triple meanings, as well as puns, are a recurring motif throughout ''Histoire(s)'' and much of Godard's work. The film was screened out of competition at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival. Nine years later, it was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1997 Festival. The soundtrack was released as a 5-CD boxed set on the ECM record label. ==Episodes== ''Histoire(s) du cinéma'' consists of 4 chapters, each one subdivided into two parts, making for a total of 8 episodes.
