The films of Agnès Varda

French filmmaker born in 1928, Agnès Varda spent her childhood in Belgium and then in Sète. After studying at the Beaux Arts and the École du Louvre, she became the photographer for the Théâtre National Populaire alongside Jean Vilar in the 1950s. She shot her first feature film in 1954, La pointe courte, which made her part of the New Wave cinema. The rest of her career will be rich of thirty-three titles, fictions or documentaries, among which we can mention classics such as Cléo de 5 à 7 (1961), Sans toit ni loi (1985), Les glaneurs et la glaneuse (2000), Les plages d'Agnès (2009). Her entire cinematographic work was rewarded with an honorary César in 2001, the René-Clair prize of the French Academy in 2002, a Palme d'honneur at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 and an honorary Oscar in 2017. Agnès passed away at her home, rue Daguerre, surrounded by her family, collaborators and friends, not to mention her cats, on March 29th, 2019.
