G5A in collaboration with Institut Français presents Agnès Varda: A RetrospectiveIn this film, she offers insights into her oeuvre, using excerpts from her work to illustrate – more associatively than chronologically – her artistic visions and ideas. Her lively, anecdote-rich and clever talk is divided into two sections. Firstly, she elucidates her ‘analogue period’ from 1954 to 2000, in which the director is in the foreground. This was the young woman who set out to reinvent cinema, someone who was always open to chance and to moments of documentary, even in fiction; who, with every new film, changed her narrative style. In the second part, Agnès Varda focuses on the years from 2000 to 2018, and shows how she uses digital technology to look at the world in her own, unique way. And started a new life as a visual artist, showing pieces that film goers have never seen.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.InstructionsLimited seating is available.Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.No late entries will be allowed.
