FILM DIRECTOR Agnes Varda

“Sometimes I say, If I had seen some masterpieces, maybe I wouldn’t have dared start. I started very—not innocent, but naïve in a way. So that’s a big freedom, you know? I didn’t go to school. I didn’t go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom. I see all these students, and I admire them—they’re trying to learn something, they go to school, they do film school, they go on shoots, they help. I’m sure they learn a lot, and some of them, it makes them aware of what they wish to do. I was—that’s the way I was—autodidact.”

– Agnès Varda

Quo Varda?


No Varda? Maybe The Vagabond, The Gleaners and then The Beaches of Agnes. Lot of it. You’ll be hooked, a lot because of Agnes the filmmaker, the person. Check out YouTube. Agnes Varda Interview April 4th, 2013. Q. Which film does Godard have a part? Ah, une autre Godard name-check.
