In this delicate and disarming portrait from Agnès Varda, a lonely 40-year old woman finds herself shattering taboos by falling in love with the 14-year old Julien - but is it romance, or a desperate attempt to turn back time in the face of middle age?

Laura (Déborah François) is struggling to make ends meet while studying, despite holding down a part-time job. Desperate for cash, she answers an Internet ad: Joe, 57, seeks female student for tender moments. But what should have been a one-off becomes a downward spiral as Laura grows gradually more reliant on her illicit second income, finding herself in a new bed every night.

Agnès Varda, iconoclastic instigator of the New Wave, reinvented how films could look and what stories they could tell. Viva Varda! reveals a brand new perspective on the influential filmmaker’s life and work, with never-before-seen archive footage and illuminating interviews with her family, friends and collaborators.

Ten year old Laure prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new neighbourhood, local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Mickäel. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.

A man living in an isolated mansion near Paris asks a young film student to relive the history of cinema for him on his 100th birthday, in this playful comedy from Agnès Varda that celebrates cinema's centennial. 

Venturing from Venice Beach to Watts, Varda looks at the murals of LA as backdrop to and mirror of the city's many cultures. She casts a curious eye on graffiti and photorealism, roller disco & gang violence, evangelical Christians, Hare Krishnas, artists, angels and ordinary Angelenos.
