Introduction: Future Varda
Agnès Varda: Photography and Early Creative Process
Agnès Varda frequently presented her career as encompassing three domains: photography, cinema, and visual art. While her cinema and late-career artistic work are widely accessible, her early photography remains a growing area of study. Moreover, it has often been repeated that Varda began her directorial career with little knowledge of cinema (stories Varda herself echoed). This article excavates little-known 1950s photographic studies from her …
Agnès Varda and Le Collectif 50/50 en 2020: Power and Protest at the Cannes Film Festival
This article examines how Agnès Varda used speeches and activism at the Cannes Film Festival in recent years to reveal and challenge the underrepresentation of female directors in the film industry. At the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, she accepted an honorary Palme (lifetime achievement award) in the name of other creative directors not yet in the spotlight. In 2018, Varda joined with the 50/50 en 2020 collective, a gender equity campaign, on the C…
Agnes Varda between Film, Photography, and Art
Agnès Varda is a prolific film director, photographer, and artist whose cinematic career spans more than six decades. Today she is best known as the innovative “mother” of the French New Wave film movement of the 1950s and '60s and for her multimedia art exhibitions. Varying her use of different media, she is a figure who defies easy categorization. In this extensively researched book, Rebecca J. DeRoo demonstrates how Varda draws upon the histor…

Confronting Contradictions: Genre Subversion and Feminist Politics in Agnès Varda's L'une chante, l'autre pas
French filmmaker Agnès Varda's career has been largely defined by contradiction. She is acknowledged as influential, yet often discussed independently from the advanced filmmaking practices and intellectual debates of her New Wave generation. Her musical, L'une chante, l'autre pas, was particularly misunderstood: film critics and feminist scholars praised the film's feminist storyline, but found that the unexpected musical numbers undercut the se…
Christian Boltanski's Memory Images: Remaking French Museums in the Aftermath of '68
In France, museums have long functioned not merely as sites for presenting art objects, but also as emblems of national identity and reservoirs of collective memory. Art-world protestors of 1968 rejected these notions, arguing that museums were elitist and disconnected from daily life. Yet after the demonstrations had subsided, the problem of how to re-imagine artistic practices and venues remained, regaining prominence in the early 1970s when pl…
