In part playful, philosophical, and subtly political, The Gleaners and I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world. Varda’s vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn their own words, gleaners discuss overproduction, waste and how they salvage as people who “pick up and eat what we throw away.” The film still has a strong impact today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrench with English subtitles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge: \u003c\/strong\u003e16+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Agnès Varda: A Retrospective:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJoin us at the Warehouse in celebrating one of the most beloved and iconic filmmakers, Agnès Varda.

Agnès Varda created a niche for herself by straddling the fine line between fiction and non-fiction in her films. Informed by her prior practice in still photography, she became known for her provocative,  inventive, and unique way of filmmaking which did not conform to existing traditional conventions. Relying on intuition, curiosity, and a pursuit of finding beauty where it is least expected; her films are experienced like streams of emotions – also known as the cinema of senses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a career spanning seven decades, Agnès Varda carved a place for herself in the upper echelons of filmmakers globally with her unflinching commitment to her unique vision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMay 22 – 24, 2026\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFriday, May 22\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e19:00 – Cléo from 5 to 7 + In Conversation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaturday, May 23\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12:00 – The Gleaners and I\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15:00 – The Creatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18:00 to – Varda By Agnès\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunday, May 24\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12:00 – The Gleaners And I: Two Years Later\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15:00 – The Beaches of Agnès\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18:00 – One Sings, The Other Doesn’t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Limited seating is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2) Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3) No late entries will be allowed.
