On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film Podcast, documentary cinematographer and Cameraperson director Kirsten Johnson sits down with the legendary French New Wave auteur Agnès Varda, in town for a gallery exhibit of her art at Blum & Poe and a French Institute film series. In a wonderfully thoughtful and engaged conversation, the two discuss Varda’s artwork, how her films play with time, finding permission as an artist, Varda’s feelings about New York City, her forthcoming documentary with the artist JR, her favorite color (!), and much more.
