“I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF AS A WOMAN DOING FILM BUT AS A RADICAL FILM-MAKER WHO WAS A WOMAN.” - Agnès Varda
POW Film Fest, Holocene, and the artists behind Agnes Varda Forever have commissioned two very talented local musicians, Kathy Foster and EMA, to create an original score to acommpany a screening of Varda’s film La Pointe Courte.
Released in 1955, La Pointe Courte is considered the first film of the French New Wave movement, and Varda the “mother” of the French New Wave. La Pointe Courte was her first feature, made when she was 26 years old. Like many contemporary female artists, she self-funded the film.
October 23rd, 2022 • Doors at 8pm
