Varda by Agnès

“Inspiration, creation and sharing” were key words in the ethos of the queen of French New Wave, and ones that resonate throughout her final work, Varda by Agnès.

Agnès Varda takes a seat on a theatre stage. This professional photographer, installation artist and pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague is an institution of French cinema but a fierce opponent of any kind of institutional thinking.

Varda By Agnès follows the filmmaker and artist as she uses excerpts from her work to illustrate – more associatively than chronologically – her artistic vision and ideas. Her lively, anecdote-rich and clever talk charts her shift from analogue to digital.

Spanning across a 60 year career, the ever creative, playful and curious master of cinema Agnès Varda reflects on her body of work and passions with a huge audience, and dazzling insight.
