Book Presentation:
In her ever-evolving career, the legendary filmmaker Agnès Varda has gone from being a photographer at the Avignon festival in the late 1940s, through being a director celebrated at the Cannes festival (Cléo de 5 à 7, 1962), to her more ironic self-proclaimed status as a ‘jeune artiste plasticienne’. She has recently staged mixed-media projects and exhibitions all over the world from Paris (2006) to Los Angeles (2013-14). Agnès Varda Unlimited: Image, Music, Media reconsiders the legacy and potential of Varda’s radical tour de force cinématique, as seen in the 22-DVD ‘definitive’ Tout(e) Varda, and her enduring artistic presence. These essays discuss not just when, but also how and why, Varda’s renewed artistic forms have ignited with such creative force, and have been so inspiring an influence. The volume concludes with two remarkable interviews: one with Varda herself, and another a rare contribution from the leading actress of Cléo de 5 à 7, Corinne Marchand.
