Agnes by Varda

The final film from the late, beloved Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director’s own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, Varda acts as our spirit guide on a free-associative tour through her six-decade artistic journey, shedding new light on her films, photography, and recent installation works while offering her one-of-a-kind reflections on everything from filmmaking to feminism to aging.

“In Agnès Varda’s autobiographical film, she gives an insight into her life’s work and her playful approach. She says ‘I have curious eyes’ and explores filmmaking as an artform through her unique response to the world. The playfulness and curiosity in her work continues to inspire me, and in this film, she explains ‘Three words are important to me: inspiration, creation, sharing’.” Heidi Morstang
