Agnès Varda: A Tribute

Agnès Varda, now in her nineties, is considered one of the greatest French filmmakers of all time, a cinematic bard, and a visionary. Her 50 year career includes titles of some of the most celebrated films in history, from Cleo 5 to 7 to Faces Places.

Du côté de la côte + La Point Courte

114 minutes

Du côté de la côte - Agnès Varda explores the buildings and beaches of the French Riviera | La Point Courte - A Parisian couple on holiday faces a marital crisis. The result is a stunning debut, which bears the curiosity and humanity that will characterize Varda’s entire career.

L’opéra-Mouffe + Cleo from 5 to 7

106 minutes

L’opéra-Mouffe - The film follows a day in the life of a pregnant woman, while closely following the events in her neighborhood in Paris | Cleo from 5 to 7 - 90 minutes in the life of a spoiled nightclub singer as she waits for the medical verdict on whether she is to live or die.... A touching poetic cinematic experience about love and death.

Le bonheur

Le bonheur

The happiness of the others is the subject of Varda’s third film. Seemingly banal, Varda utilizes a fascinating narrative angle, Impressionist cinematography, and works by Mozart to transform Le bonheur into a small masterpiece.
