Black Panthers
Agnès Varda
In the summer of 1968, the Black Panthers held a series of rallies in Oakland, California, to draw attention to the trial of one of their leaders, Huey Newton, and to shake up American society, a mission they unequivocally achieved. Using a 16 mm camera, Varda captured scenes of resistance against police brutality, conducted interviews and demonstrated solidarity with the revolutionary principles and radical demands of the Black Panthers.
Agnès Varda
Agnès Varda founded her own production company Ciné Tamaris in 1954. Her first short film La Pointe Courte is today considered one of the first films of the Nouvelle Vague movement. After making over 40 feature and documentary films, Varda experimented with photo and video installations, which have been exhibited in museums around the world. Her award-winning and highly acclaimed body of work was shaped by her »cinécriture« (»cinematic writing«) approach to filmmaking. Varda died in Paris in 2019, aged 90.
