The Signature Moves of Agnès Varda | TIFF 2023

Martin Scorsese once said of Agnès Varda, "she is art". An international art-house icon and the “grandmother of the French New Wave”, Agnès Varda transformed cinema. But how does she do it? Through her blending of fact & fiction; her experimental spirit; a feminist freedom; faces, places, and self portraits; and lots and lots of mirrors. These are the Signature Moves of Agnès Varda.
