1955
如果能夠，輕輕撕開——新浪潮教母生涯首部劇情長片，早於楚浮與高達的新浪潮先驅之作——這些深深黏附在電影上的另一層皮膚，我們會怎麼觀看、理解，並且描述安妮華達導演的《短角情事》這部電影血肉。或許我們會看到，電影本是一禎禎，精心編排的畫面，就像安妮華達說的，「我拍照或拍電影，或將電影放到照片去，又或把照片放到電影裡。」
當時的法國電影圈從製片、導演、工作人員，再到影評人、電影史學家，清一色是男性，華達是 1958-1962 年間唯一一位拍攝長片的女導演。成名作《五點到七點的克萊歐》距離她第一部作品隔了七年（期間三部短片有兩部是觀光局委製），正是因為她不被看重，找不到資金，最後不得不靠先生傑克德米引薦當時新浪潮電影的製作人博勒加德。
“I live by my own standards—not by men’s.” She was a director, a cinematographer, a poet, an installation artist, a key figure of the French New Wave. She was a woman. She filmed her muses, scavengers, drifters, distant uncles, lost lovers—and herself. She wandered through the Left Bank of Paris, strolled down Rue Daguerre, flew to San Francisco and Cuba, and eventually returned to the beach she loved most. She was Agnès Varda. This August, Giloo presents 14 handpicked works by Varda—black and white, color, documentary, fiction, film stock, and DV. Two years after her farewell, we invite you to once again meet her—at her sharpest, and her kindest.
Love can bear the sweetest fruits, or plunge life into the deepest abyss. How do you face the questions that love brings? Will you choose to move forward hand in hand with your partner— or walk away, once and for all?
When dazzling colors fill the screen, black and white becomes strikingly radiant.
