“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.
