VARDA BY AGNÈS
[dir. Agnès Varda, France]

An unpredictable documentary from a fascinating storyteller, Agnès Varda’s new feature documentary sheds light on her experience as a director, bringing a personal insight to what she calls “cine-writing”.

Opening the doors of her universe as a storyteller, Agnès Varda revisits, with her customary inventiveness, her inspirations and work. A touching self portrait providing an insight into her oeuvre and how she set out to reinvent cinema.

The “Queen of French Cinema” Agnès Varda returns with a new documentary following her Academy Award nominated sensation FACES PLACES (SCFF 2017 – Audience Award). When Agnès Varda died earlier this year at age 90, the world lost one of its most inspirational cinematic radicals.

We are honored to be screening VARDA BY AGNÈS on Friday, December 13th, 7PM at The Black Box Theatre.
