Romain Thomassin is a freelance French filmmaker who will show us his brand-new 15-minute documentary on Hunter Thompson’s Favorite Spots in San Francisco, which he made for “Inspiration: Invitation to Travel,” in the Arte TV France series.

The film was aired in France, Germany and Belgium, and I think got very positive reactions – at least from the people I shared it with :).As soon as it was aired, I asked permission from the production company to show it at Gonzofest and to send me the original files, so that you can not only watch it (it is currently blocked on Arte’s website, only visible in Europe), but watch it without French dubbing on top of your voice and other guests’ voices. I got approval and currently have the file. I am now in the process of translating and subtitling the “French commentary,” which is the main narrative (when you are not speaking). Doing it for you and for the audience at GonzoFest.
Confirming I’ll be at GonzoFest, and excited about it. 25 minutes sounds good. The film is 14 minutes + 10 minutes of conversation / q&A sounds very good.Here is the link where the doc is currently living (but geoblocked as I said): https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/122483-000-A/la-san-francisco-d-hunter-s-thompson/
