A triptych of film essays exploring the photographic medium, CINEVARDAPHOTO is a wonderfully potent and incisive work from Agnes Varda, director of The Beaches of Agnes and The Gleaners and I, who began her career as a photographer before turning to film.

In Ydessa, The Bears and Etc., Varda discovers a haunting exhibit of found photos, each showing a teddy bear. With Ulysses, she deconstructs a picture from her early career as a photographer. While the exuberant Salut les Cubains uses still photos to capture the spirit of the Cuban revolution's early days.

Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and at the San Francisco Film Festival.

"A work of great charm and bold aesthetic impurity." -- J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
