Pioneering filmmaker Agnès Varda has spent more than 50 years making radical films and art installations at the intersection of fiction, documentary, and autobiography. This March, join us at CinéSalon for a special tribute to her perpetually influential and inventive work.

On February 28, in lieu of CinéSalon, Agnès Varda will be at FIAF for a special talk about her recent turn toward visual artist in advance of her first-ever exhibition in NYC. View Details

The rest of March will be dedicated to some rarely-screened works from her œuvre. The series will conclude with Jacques Demy’s—her late husband—debut film Lola, featuring an original song by Varda.

Please note, there will be no regular CinéSalon screenings on February 28 due to the special talk.

Films in French with English subtitles unless otherwise noted.
