Tribute to Agnès Varda
Festivals & Series
We are deeply saddened to learn the loss of film director Agnès Varda, a true pioneer in film making & visual art whom we had the pleasure to welcome at the Institut français last September.
We will pay tribute to this grande dame of cinema in a special programme to be announced soon.
“Je souhaite rendre hommage à Agnès Varda, une grande femme et une grande cinéaste, qui est au cinéma ce que Simone de Beauvoir est à la littérature. Elle fut d’une infinie simplicité et générosité lors de son dernier séjour à Londres en septembre 2018” – Monsieur Jean-Pierre Jouyet, Ambassadeur de France au Royaume-Uni
“I wish to pay tribute to Agnès Varda, a great woman and a great filmmaker, who is to cinema what Simone de Beauvoir is to literature. She showed great simplicity and generosity at her last visit in London in September 2018” – Jean-Pierre Jouyet, French Ambassador to the United Kingdom
