Agnès Varda

Photographer, filmmaker and visual artist, Agnès Varda has never stopped opening new doors and experimenting with different means of expression, driven by the urgency, she said, “to capture the fragile and magnificent moment”. His very personal work, between documentary, fiction and autobiography, mostly recounts moments of life, from the difficulty of living to the jubilation of happiness. Agnès Varda was first interested in photography. In 1949, she became the official photographer for the Avignon Festival and the Théâtre National Populaire. She retained a taste for rigor, seeking to “reach as many people as possible by setting the bar very high”. Mission accomplished in her first film, La Pointe Courte (1954). A radical film, a harbinger of the New Wave, where she creates her own language. Freeing herself from the codes of the time, she reinvents the construction of the story, breaking down the barriers between documentary and fiction. His filmography includes more than 40 short and feature films. She tackles difficult subjects: the France of the homeless with Without roof or law (1985), Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, overconsumption with Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse (2000), the feminist cause with L'une sings, the other does not (1977), the social upheavals of the world... Anything but moralist, anchored in her time, she wants to advance the causes, with a beautiful balance between the objectivity of reality and the subjectivity of reverie. Jacquot de Nantes (1991), dedicated to her husband and accomplice Jacques Demy, takes the path of intimate memory. In 2003, invited to the Venice Biennale, she successfully began a new career as a visual artist, inaugurating the contemporary art installation format. As independent as her cat friends, faithful to her legendary bowl cut, joyful and above all free, Agnès Varda leaves a rare work of international renown.
