She walks a lot and, little by little, she opens her eyes on the world.Language: French with English subtitles.The screening will be followed by a conversation with film critic and curator Sachin ChatteAbout Agnès Varda: A Retrospective:Join us at the Warehouse in celebrating one of the most beloved and iconic filmmakers, Agnès Varda. Retrospectively, considered to have kickstarted the French New Wave or La Nouvelle Vague, she was associated with the directors that constituted the ‘Left Bank Cinema’ faction.Over the course of her career, we see the evolution of her ideas through her inquiry into feminism. Agnès Varda created a niche for herself by straddling the fine line between fiction and non-fiction in her films. Informed by her prior practice in still photography, she became known for her provocative, inventive, and unique way of filmmaking which did not conform to existing traditional conventions. Relying on intuition, curiosity, and a pursuit of finding beauty where it is least expected; her films are experienced like streams of emotions - also known as the cinema of senses.With a career spanning seven decades, Agnès Varda carved a place for herself in the upper echelons of filmmakers globally with her unflinching commitment to her unique vision.InstructionsSeating is on a first-come, first-served basis.No late entries will be allowed.
