$5.00

French film director, screenwriter, and photographer Agnès Varda (born 1928) originally hoped to become a museum curator, but decided to study photography instead. She paid the bills by shooting portraits and weddings, but never stopped challenging herself artistically. With some friends, Varda formed a cooperative to make her first film, “La Pointe Courte” — widely considered to be the catalyst of the French New Wave. Her narrative films have a documentary realism, filmed on location using many non-professional actors. Women’s voices are centered, as are women's (and other social) issues. Varda is also known for her powerful experimental documentaries. On her passing, director Martin Scorsese said, "I seriously doubt that Agnès Varda ever followed in anyone else’s footsteps, in any corner of her life or her art.”
