As a primer to @filmforumnyc.bsky.social’s Agnès Varda retrospective: my profile & interview with her on one of her last trips to NYC in 2017. I dug deep on this one. tried to tell the story in English of how exactly she became a filmmaker. www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2017/04/10/t...

Setting aside 1975, in 1968, while her queer husband was making a studio film in Hollywood, Agnès Varda drove up to Oakland to make a documentary filmed mostly by herself about the Black Panthers. This is from her interview with Kathleen Cleaver. It’ll be showing @filmforumnyc.bsky.social March 21.
