Here and Elsewhere incorporates footage taken for Jusqu'à la victoire, which had been commissioned by The Arab League in Paris.
Primarily the film is a criticism of how capitalism's use of media distorts the aims of liberative and revolutionary causes, among other aspects of economic and social disparaties.[1]
Ici et Ailleurs marks the beginning of Godard's transitional period, which found him experimenting in very original ways with video, and political and representational polemics; as such, it shares many of the traits of both his radical-era films and the video-centered work that followed. It is also one of his first projects with Miéville, who remained the major collaborator in his life and work since that period.
