Known for its lush visual style, Varda’s film challenges monogamy in a nuanced examination of the human condition. In suburban Paris, a young husband and father, perfectly content with his life, falls in love with another woman.

The basis for La La Land — this vibrant 1960s French musical broke the norms of Broadway and opted for poignancy rather than flashy show-stopping numbers to tell the story of two star-crossed lovers in a small coastal town in France. The film was brilliantly restored by Agnes Varda in the 1990s to its signature breathtakingly colorful palette.

Don’t miss a special screening of the documentary Persistence of Vision — which tell the story of  the greatest animated that was never made — and a live Q&A with the director Kevin Schreck. We’ll also be screening his brand new short Duck of NY — a short documentary about an unusual duck that appeared in New York’s Central Park and created a global media sensation.
