For some, turning eighty may mean settling down, but for the 'Grandmother of the French New Wave' it's cause for reflection, irreverence, and a continued reinvention of the cinematic form. Recollections of a wartime childhood, an early career as a photographer, and her emergence as a filmmaker coincide with remembrances of friends and colleagues, a who's-who that includes Jean-Luc Godard, G&eacute;rard Depardieu, Alexander Calder, members of the Black Panthers, and Jim Morrison, with special attention paid to fellow Left Bank filmmakers like good friend Chris Marker (who \"appears\" in his favorite feline guise) and her great love, Jacques Demy. As charming and idiosyncratic as Varda herself, The Beaches of Agn\u00c3\u00a8s is supposedly her last film; if so, it's a goodbye as youthful and vigorous as her hello, 1954's La Pointe Courte.\" &mdash; Jason Sanders (Pacific Film Archive)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/www.eastman.org\/event\/film-screenings\/beaches-agn%C3%A8s\">George Eastman Museum website<\/a>, 2016-Feb-22]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen Les plages d'agn\u00c3\u00a8s (The Beaches of Agn\u00c3\u00a8s, Agn\u00c3\u00a8s Varda, France 2008, 110 min., 35mm, French w\/subtitles). \"Agn\u00c3\u00a8s Varda takes a cinematic stroll through her career&mdash;and the history of French film&mdash;in this jovial first-person documentary that 'walks &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/event\/les-plages-dagnes-the-beaches-of-agnes-screening\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[3044],"class_list":["post-7173","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-jayceland-2016-feb-25","cat_jayceland-2016-feb-25"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/7173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/7173\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7173"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=7173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
