VARDA PAR AGNÈS

A gifted storyteller and a filmmaker in a class by herself, Agnès Varda sits down to recount 60 years of her life and career, by turns personal, political, feminist and highly mischievous. Guided more by linked memories than strict chronology, Varda focuses on her desire to spread knowledge, revealing interpretation keys and behind-the-scenes secrets and offering her personal take on what she called “cinécriture” (cine-writing). Screened at the Berlin Festival, Varda par Agnès is a joyous foray into the past where her films and other works form a canvas illustrating a working process and a creative vision that never ran out of steam.
