G5A in collaboration with Institut Français presents Agnès Varda: A RetrospectiveAgnès Varda returns to the people she met in her 2000 documentary, The Gleaners and I. It explored the effects their participation in the project has had on their lives. This film is a deceptively unassuming epilogue that takes us deeper into the world of those who find purpose and beauty in what society discards. Using gleaning as a starting point yet again, Varda presents how rich and complex life is outside the mainstream. Resulting in a rich commentary on the personal, the political, and the innate creativity of those that exist on the fringes.Language: French with English subtitles.About 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.
