Episode description

Gleaning Truths is a new programme from Curzon, available across the UK and Ireland to exhibiting and engaging with brand new digital restorations of eight of Agnès Varda’s best-known films, as well as extensive previews of her upcoming Oscar-nominated documentary 'Faces, Place' ahead of its general release on the 21st September.


To celebrate Gleaning Truths and Varda's work 9 essays have been written about her work and are available to read at www.agnesvarda.co.uk/essays/, for this special episode of our podcast, we have invited 3 of these essayists - Beth Webb, Corrina Antrobus and Rowan Woods - to discuss Varda's work.


Revered for her bold political and autobiographically inspired work, Agnès Varda is a seminal feminist filmmaker and matriarch of French Cinema. Her influential career began in the 1950s with 'La Pointe Courte' – often considered the first film of the New Wave – and has spanned seven decades with no sign of slowing down as she enters her 90th year.
