Agnès Varda and JR share a passion for images in general, as well as for questioning where images are showed and how they are shared. Agnès chose cinema as her medium. JR chose to create open-air photographic galleries. When they met in 2015, they immediately wanted to work together. They would ultimately go on to shoot a film in France, far from the cities. This film is about both their friendship and their differences.

Varda by Agnès

Agnès Varda—professional photographer, installation artist, and pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague—is an institution of French cinema, and yet she fiercely opposes institutional thinking of any kind. This film offers insights into her oeuvre, using excerpts from her work to illustrate her artistic vision. Revisiting over 60 years of personal and professional life, Varda takes us on a journey through her world of unorthodox images.
