http://www.egs.edu/ Agnès Varda, French director, photographer and filmmaker discussing and featuring the film Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse 2000 aka The Gleaners and I, a documentary about things we leave behind or throw away, the leftover, cleaning, what is left, what means picking, selecting, chosing and giving. Agnès Varda, lecturing about making and directing movies and films for television, theatre and cinema, and working as an artist, director, documentary filmmaker, a voice for the people featured in her videos. Public open video lecture for the faculty and students of the European Graduate School, Media and Communication Studies Department Program, EGS, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2004.

Agnès Varda (born May 30, 1928) is a French film director. Her movies, photographs, and art installations focus on documentary realism, feminist issues, and social commentary — with a distinct experimental style.

Varda was born in Brussels, Belgium, to a Greek father and French mother. Her father's family were Greek refugees from Asia Minor. For her first film La Pointe courte (editing by Alain Resnais), she drew her inspiration from the region of Sète, where she grew up. Varda traveled from France to San Francisco and shot a quasi-surreal documentary film on her father's cousin, Jean Varda, titled Uncle Yanko.

For the 1985 documentary-style feature film Vagabond/Without Roof or Rule she received the Golden Lion of the Venice Film Festival.

kinda interesting that this is about film making as such yet nobody uses the correct type of microphone to ensure it records well. no offence meant..interesting lectures though, thanks for uploads.

[egsvideo]

thank you for the comment. as written and stated before: the main target of the lectures are and were the students of the media and communication program. in 2004 there was no youtube or similar portal - still, egs has recorded the lectures and prepared for an uncertain future.

I did have the pleasure of expending some time with Agnes. Though the barriers of languages was against us we learn a lot from each other and the problems of movie making in the 60s. Lovely woman!
