ABOUT THE FILM

Auteur Agnès Varda turns her camera on an Oakland demonstration against the imprisonment of activist and Black Panthers co-founder Huey P. Newton. In addition to evincing Ms. Varda’s fascination with her adopted surroundings and her empathy, this perceptive short is also a powerful political statement filmed during the summer of 1968.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER

Agnès Varda (1928–2019) was a Belgian-born, Paris-based filmmaker known as a “godmother of the French New Wave,” who created a unique, mixed-media filmography of fiction, documentaries and art installations. Starting as a photographer for a theater, she directed her first film, LA POINTE COURTE in 1954, which ignited the New Wave movement. Ms. Varda’s influential career spanned over 60 years.

Screenings of THE BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION (2015) and BLACK PANTHER (2018) are also included in the day’s program.
