\"Agnes<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite being only a few years older than Truffaut and Godard AGN\u00c9S VARDA is known as the Grandmother of the French New Wave<\/a>. With a background in art not cinema, her first film\u00a0La Pointe Courte<\/i>\u00a0(1955) was made in her hometown without film training but by her simply picking up a camera and making it happen which has proven the inspiration for many of her subsequent films.<\/p>\n

Varda did a brief stint in Hollywood where she directed Lions Love<\/em>\u00a0a film about New York transplants (including some of the famous Warhol crowd) in Los Angeles and a short documentary about the Black Panthers. Her time in Los Angeles was short lived but she returned to France to continue making movies and just last year at the age of 87 premiered her short Les 3 boutons<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>at the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n
