Twenty year-old Daniel with a troubled past is incarcerated in a brutal youth detention center. He has developed a deep religious faith and secretly dreams of becoming a priest. Once paroled, he arrives in a small-town parish and pulls off an unlikely feat, convincing the villagers that he's a visiting priest. His evangelistic methods prove controversial among the inhabitants. However, with time, the teachings and charisma of the fake priest start making an impact on the community, scarred with grief after a tragic accident, whose repercussions have divided the town. Both Daniel and the villagers must come to conclusions that test their truth and their own faith. This extremely original project touches upon taboo subjects and brings up the question of social divisions and the complex spirituality of young people.

The Beaches of Agnes screening
2019-11-06 19:30 - 21:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Beaches of Agnes (AgnÃ¨s Varda, France 2008, 110 min., 35mm, French and English w/subtitles) as part of the In Memoriam: AgnÃ¨s Varda series.
AgnÃ¨s Varda (1928—2019) studied art history at university, intending to seek a career as a museum curator, but turned to photography as a means of expression and a source of income. Through photography, she became interested in filmmaking, and the two disciplines can be seen blended in her work. Varda is referred to as the mother of the French New Wave; her first film, La Pointe Courte (1955), is commonly accepted as the first film in that movement. Over the course of more than fifty films—short and feature-length, narrative and documentary—Varda honed her method of filmmaking, which she described as cinécriture, or cinematic writing, allowing all elements of the filmmaking process to contribute to the overall message. In The Beaches of AgnÃ¨s, Varda turns the camera on herself as she produces a richly cinematic self-portrait that touches on everything from the feminist movement and the Black Panthers to the films of husband Jacques Demy and the birth of the French New Wave.
