Alliance Française de Hong Kong and Broadway Cinematheque, with the support of Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, Le French May, Unifrance and Institut Français, are excited to invite you on an artistic journey through French cinema, with a special spotlight on Agnès Varda.
Le French May Cinema Programme, entitled “Tribute to Agnès Varda” pays tribute to one of the masters of French cinema, acknowledged with an honorary Oscar in 2017 for her whole career; she is the first French woman ever to receive this award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
“Tribute to Agnès Varda” will present a selection of 12 major films of Agnès Varda. The programme is completed with 4 films chosen for families and for your delight. “Tribute to Agnès Varda” is an ode to one of the major directors of the Nouvelle Vague, her art and freedom out and in the movement. Ms Varda’s works are also marked by the seal of social involvement and of her life-long companion Jacques Demy.
We have this special chance given during the festival to see, see again or just even discover her extraordinary world.
