badiou to appear in godard film
From Killian:
'Regarding the Godard film, Badiou told us that he would be in Godard's (final, I think he said) film. It is being filmed around now; it involves Badiou being on a cruise ship somewhere in/near Turkey; he is in three scenes; firstly having breakfast with a Russian spy (not a real one, although as he is really Badiou he asked Godard if the spy was really a spy, but she is an actor); secondly, he will be seen writing a lecture on Husserl's Origin of Geometry, and thirdly, he will deliver the lecture, still on the cruise ship, to an empty auditorium. Half of the film will be bourgeois children explaining to their parents that they, and not the adults, should be allowed to vote. I think I am accurately enough recounting what Badiou said, although the whole story was so outrageous, and the plan for the film so liable to change, apparently, that who knows whether any of this will appear as planned. It made for an entertaining few mins of listening though.'
