29th International Bremen Film Conference – 7 to 10 May 2025
Agnès Varda (1928–2019) was not only highly creative but also very productive: her extensive oeuvre comprises film, photography and installation art, spanning more than six decades during which she continued to reinvent herself. During her career, she acted as a trailblazer of modern film by adding her own experimental twist to the creative vocabulary of the language of cinema, situating her work somewhere between the realism of documentaries and the fictionality of film poems. From about 2000, she discovered her passion for small digital cameras and – already in her 70s – embarked on a third career as an installation artist.
