Albert Camus was one of the leading cultural figures of his time – but in the pre-internet era, his fame did not translate into ubiquitous international exposure in every platform imaginable. There is no interview conducted English, alas – but here’s what we could find.

In the first half-minute clip, a reporter asks Camus about his selection for the Nobel Prize. Camus, ever a devoted sports fan, answers the question at a soccer match. (Thanks, Jacqueline Genovese, who alerted us this short clip.)

The second video is only for French speakers: an interview about Camus’s theatrical adaptation of Dostoevsky’s The Possessed. He directed a production of the play at the Théâtre Antoine in 1959, partly financed with his Nobel money. He viewed Dostoevsky’s words against nihilism as a prophecy for our times. He would die the following year, in 1960.

The third video is his speech on accepting the Nobel Prize, with English subtitles. From the banquet speech: “Art … obliges the artist not to keep himself apart; it subjects him to the most humble and the most universal truth. And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others.”
