Partially found 1979 French Film from Klaus Nomi music video

Additionally, I'm very sorry for the silence in the search haha. Life kinda gets in the way sometimes.

Sorry for the additional post, but I was thinking about this. Do you have any way of knowing whether their copy is a tape master or a film reel? Did they disclose?

The fact that Daniel Mesguich not only got back to you, but seemed very enthusiastic and supportive of the search legitimately warms my heart.
Even if we don't find the film, the fact that we made an actor from the film happy is a reward in of itself!

I've considered contacting one of the organizers of VideoFest '93, but part of me is worried about bothering her. She currently works in therapy and is based in Berlin. I'd hate to have to contact her via her business email.

I posted about the search on some Lost Media Facebook pages, and one of the admins suggested that we get a German speaking colleague of theirs to help translate the messages for the VideoFest lead. I'm gonna be working on that today.

Like I said, I did find contact info for the researcher who was responsible for the French films included in the festival. Their contact info is on their business account, so I don't know how comfortable I am with linking it on the forum, but I'm gonna give it a shot once the message is translated. 

DM sent!

edit: Someone suggested I try this, so I've also been asking around in some James Bond collector's groups. Michael Lonsdale is fondly remembered as a Bond villain, so I suppose it's worth a shot.
