Cinévardaphoto
Directed by Agnès VardaFrom legendary French New Wave director Agnès Varda, a triptych of short documentary films exploring the power and vitality of the photograph. Each film separated by 20 years, from her first documentary in the early 60s, through a doc from the early 80s, to her most recent. In the breathtaking Salut les Cubains (1963) Varda sequences a series of pictures shot during a trip to Castro's Cuba, including a thrilling Chris Marker-esque moment when a singer's performance suddenly comes to life before our eyes. In Ulysse (1983) she reunites with the subjects of a mysterious photo taken long ago. And in Ydessa, the Bears and etc... (2004), Varda contemplates the meaning of teddy bears when juxtaposed with photos of living people, when she visits Canada to interview teddy bear artist Ydessa Hendeles.
