SPOTLIGHT on AGNÉS VARDA:
The Gleaners and I

An 1867 painting by Jean-François Millet inspired septuagenarian documentarian Agnès Varda to cross the French countryside to videotape people who scavenge. Taking everything from surplus in the fields, to rubbish in trashcans, to oysters washed up after a storm, the "gleaners" range from those sadly in need to those hoping to recreate the community activity of centuries past, and still others who use whatever they find to cobble together a rough art. Highlighted by Varda's amusing narration.

To celebrate what would have been the iconic director’s 98th birthday, we’re screening three of our favorites from her decades-spanning body of work. Make it a double or triple feature with Jane B. par Agnès V. at 3:00 PM or Cléo from 5 to 7 at 7:30 PM!
