Podcasts about la pointe courte

Josemi Beltrán, Donostiak Kultura Zinemako zuzendaria, izan dugu Ispilu Beltzan lehengo aldiei buruz hizketan, hain zuzen ere La Pointe Courte eta La ciudad perdida filmei buruz.---Hemos estado con Josemi Beltrán, director de Cine de Donostia Kultura en Ispilu Beltza charlando sobre las primeras veces, concretamente sobre las películas La Pointe Courte eta La ciudad perdida.

Temos nome para o ciclo de primeiras-obras! CICLO TROLHAS (sempre a manter o nível mediano). E o Chico deu à costa com o primeiro filme da tia Agnès Varda, para alguns o pontapé de saída da Nouvelle Vague. Duas narrativas entrecruzadas, uma (mais difícil de digerir) de dois namorados citadinos que vêm para La Pointe Courte parlar sobre a relação, a outra sobre os problemas (aparentemente) mais sérios dos verdadeiros habitantes deste bairro piscatório. Seja com actores ou locals, tudo é belissimamente filmado que dói. Se isto não vos convence a ouvir o episódio, fazemos all in nos spoilers: há gatos com fartura.

Et pourquoi elle est un personnage unique, notamment dans le monde du cinéma ? La phrase à retenir : "Je joue le rôle d'une petite vieille, rondouillarde et bavarde qui raconte sa vie… Et pourtant ce sont les autres qui m'intéressent vraiment et que j'aime filmer. Les autres qui m'intriguent, me motivent, m'interpellent, me déconcertent, me passionnent. Cette fois-ci, pour parler de moi j'ai pensé : si on ouvrait les gens, on trouverait des paysages. Moi si on m'ouvrait, on trouverait des plages." (Agnès Varda dans Les Plages d'Agnès) Résumé de l'épisode : Agnès Varda est une cinéaste, mais aussi une photographe et une plasticienne. Dans ses films, elle navigue entre la fiction et le documentaire. Elle interroge son époque avec une grande liberté et beaucoup de créativité. En ce moment, la Cinémathèque française lui consacre une exposition : Viva Varda ! C'est aussi le titre d'un documentaire que j'ai regardé cette semaine et qui m'a donné envie de vous parler de ce personnage. Agnès Varda, c'est ça, un personnage qui apparaît dans ses films, un look très particulier aussi. Ensemble, on va explorer les questions suivantes : Qui était Agnès Varda ? Et pourquoi elle est un personnage unique, notamment dans le monde du cinéma (02:22) ? D'abord, on essaye de retracer les moments marquants de sa vie et de sa carrière (03:19). Alors qu'elle a pas vraiment de contact dans l'industrie du cinéma, elle investit tout l'héritage de son père dans ce projet improbable, son premier film : La Pointe Courte, tourné à Sète (07:05). Ensuite, on se focalise sur ce qui caractérise son cinéma (10:25). Et pour finir, je vous présente un de ses documentaires : Les Plages d'Agnès (17:22). Vous découvrez peut-être Agnès Varda en écoutant cet épisode. Alors, j'espère que ce petit aperçu vous donnera envie d'en savoir un peu plus sur son univers. Bonne écoute !

On the previous episode we discussed Jean-Luc Godard and the influence of Cahiers du Cinéma, the famed French film magazine. This week we tell the tale of Agnès Varda and the other half of the French New Wave: the filmmakers associated with the ‘Left Bank'. Varda's debut film, La Pointe Courte, is an intriguing first stab at many of the themes she would come to later refine through her amazing 7-decade-spanning career. Topics include: potatoes, friendship, cats, and whether talking too much prevents you from being happy.NOTE: This episode has a higher amount of background noise than usual… please forgive us.

French New Wave! Finally, We're getting weirder and French. Agnès Varda's La Pointe Courte

Hoy conversamos sobre la ópera prima de Agnès Varda "La Pointe Courte" (1955) . Acompañanos en nuestras reflexiones, críticas, contradicciones, comedias, dispersiones y mas junto a @_Sgniward_ehs y @belencito_ .

A cineasta belga Agnès Varda é a mãe fundadora da Nouvelle Vague, um dos mais importantes movimentos cinematográficos, surgido na França na década de 1950. Seu cinema expandiu as fronteiras entre ficção e documentário, e também deu corpo a novos formatos audiovisuais como o cinema-ensaio. Sua obra é conhecida pelo experimentalismo. A diretora foi a primeira mulher a receber um Oscar Honorário pelo conjunto de sua obra, em 2017. Além de cineasta, Agnès Varda também foi fotografa, artista visual e militante feminista. Para abordar os diferentes aspectos que marcam a trajetória da artista, este episódio do “Como começar”, o podcast de cultura do Nexo, conversou com: - Fernanda Pessoa, diretora de documentários como “Histórias que Nosso Cinema (Não) Contava” e “Zona Árida”. - Lúcia Monteiro, professora do curso de Cinema e Vídeo da Universidade Federal Fluminense. - Tatá Amaral, diretora de filmes como “Um Céu de Estrelas” e “Antônia”. /// Filmes citados - La Pointe-Courte (1955) - Cléo das 5 às 7 (1962) - Salut les cubains (1963) - As duas faces da felicidade (1965) - Tio Yanco (1967) - Panteras Negras (1968) - Daguerreótipos(1976) - Uma canta, a outra não (1977) - Ulysse (1982) - Kung-fu master!

For our first episode, we selected first works by artists we love. We'll talk about Agnes Varda's 1955 film "La Pointe Courte," as well as Jhumpa Lahiri's first short story, "A Temporary Matter." We explore the themes of relationship, marriage, culture, and community as seen through the eyes of these award-winning artists.

A cineasta belga radicada na França Agnès Varda é simplesmente um dos nomes mais importantes do cinema no mundo. Precursora da Nouvelle Vague (e historicamente injustiçada), a diretora foi muito mais do que isso: artista completa com inúmeros filmes de ficção, documentários e curtas, Varda traz uma riqueza enorme para o cinema! Rafael Arinelli, Daniel Cury, Isabel Wittmann (Feito Por Elas) e Kel Gomes (Cinematório) conversam sobre o início da vida de Agnès Varda, a relação dela com as outras artes e os estudos em Paris. Depois, é claro, entram nos filmes: tem conversa sobre La Pointe Courte e suas duas histórias de resistência, Cléo das 5 às 7 e suas simbologias, As Duas Faces da Felicidade e seu tom de ironia, além do filme-manifesto “Uma Canta, A Outra Não”, sem contar o documentário “Varda por Agnès”. Tem também conversa sobre batatas e sobre gatinhos (piada interna!). Vem dar o play que tá imperdível.

The brothers talk about one of the gods of cinema, OG French new wave French New Wave filmmaker/photographer Agnes Varda. Her films are filled with wife and filled us with life as we talked about her filmography from La Pointe Courte to Faces Places and why Godard can go fuck himself. Seriously, she has become one of our favorite directors after watching seven of her films in a week. This is a great introduction into the legend.

We start the 4 by Agnès Varda boxset in medias res, or at the beginning after seeing the middle? This week we're talking about La Pointe Courte, Varda's first film but the third in the boxset. Why not talk about the first two? Because we have. This boxset contains two films, Vagabond and Cleo from 5 to 7, which we watched in much earlier episodes of Lost in Criterion in the times we don't talk about except in apologetic tones of shame.

Varda once claimed that before she made La Pointe Courte she had never even seen another movie which is a hilariously transparent lie and I love her for it.

Part 1: Zach, Michael and Miranda discuss movies they saw this week, including: Project Power, Rafiki, It's a Wonderful Life and Jerry Maguire.Part 2 (32:25): The group begins their series on the films of Agnès Varda with 1955's La Pointe Courte.See movies discussed in this episode here.Also follow us on:FacebookTwitterLetterboxdSpotifyStitcher RadioRadio Public

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, a podcast where we reach out to friends to talk about what we've been watching. It's as simple as that. Joining Nicolas Rapold this time is Brazil-based critic and programmer Ela Bittencourt. We've worked with Ela on a number of articles, and her most recent project was the Venice Days program at the upcoming Venice film festival. Documentary was the focus of our conversation, ranging from a new Iranian film about a prison for women and girls, Sunless Shadows, to an early feature by Errol Morris called Vernon, Florida. We also discussed Agnès Varda's groundbreaking debut La Pointe Courte; a fascinating film about visual culture and personal perceptions, The Viewing Booth; Kim Longinotto's Divorce Iranian Style; and Again Once Again by Argentine author Romina Paula. Also mentioned are the instant barroom classic Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets, and the landmark work of Portuguese director Paolo Rocha. Photo by Steve Snodgrass

This Friday, our career-spanning Agnès Varda retrospective kicks off here at Film at Lincoln Center and continues through January 6 with Rosalie Varda in person. To celebrate the series, we’re sharing a conversation with the French New Wave pioneer from our archives. In 2015, she joined us for our annual Art of the Real festival and participated in a special Q&A with programmer Rachael Rakes. They discussed her enormously influential feature debut La Pointe Courte, directed when she was just 25 years old, and which many critics and scholars now consider as the first proper entry in what would become the Nouvelle Vague. Besides sharing fascinating anecdotes from the making of the film, Varda also told stories of her interactions with other icons of French cinema like Alain Resnais, Francois Truffaut, and André Bazin.

The tale of the once-great gunslinger forced out of retirement for one more job is a familiar one, but not one we’ve seen adopted by the superhero genre – until now. Marvel’s LOGAN is one part “Shane,” one part “Unforgiven," and if last weekend’s box office is any indication, we may see more like it.

One of my favorite people to talk movies with returns for the 2nd time this year! Film blogger, enthusiast, and friend Kate Blair is back to talk about a true pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague movement, Agnes Varda.  Her self-funded debut, the fiction-documentary hybrid 1956’s LA POINTE COURTE is often considered the unofficial first New Wave film; when she made it, she had no professional cinema training. Varda essentially evolved with each production in exciting and innovative ways that continue to dazzle viewers, including myself, who hadn't seen her work until just one month ago. I cannot say enough good things about her first few films, and as usual, we weren't able to cover everything due to time constraints and the fact that some titles aren't readily available.  But we'll definitely return to this fascinating filmmaker who really puts herself out there.  We focus on her debut, CLEO FROM 5 TO 7, HAPPINESS, VAGABOND, THE GLEANERS AND I, THE BEACHES OF AGNES, and a couple of short films too.  Hope you enjoy our discussion on a director that you definitely should know more about, so be sure to experience her work for yourself! 00:00 - 04:43 - Introduction 04:44 - 07:24 - Introduction with Kate 07:25 - 08:57 - Director Song (feat. Patrick Ripoll) 08:58 - 40:30 - LA POINTE COURTE, CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 40:31 - 01:13:13 - HAPPINESS, VAGABOND 01:13:14 - 01:53:44 - THE GLEANERS & I, THE BEACHES OF AGNES, (Short Films) 01:53:45 - 02:08:26 - Top 3 Films / Outro Towards the end of the month, two more episodes are on the docket. One will be on Alex Cox featuring Filip Önell, and shortly thereafter, an episode on James Cameron with Movie Madness host Erik Childress will arrive too!  Lots of good stuff to come throughout the summer, so stay tuned and visit DirectorsClubPodcast.com.

Legendary French filmmaker Agnès Varda, who will be a recipient of an honorary Palme d'Or at Cannes, is the focus of this week's episode. The director stopped by the Film Society during our second annual Art of the Real festival, during which she was honored with a sidebar retrospective entitled The Actualities of Agnès Varda. Art of the Real is founded on the most expansive possible view of documentary film, and the selections from Varda's work showed the director's repeated interest in the boundary between fiction and nonfiction. Even in her fictions films, she always incorporated elements of the real. Following a screening of her seminal debut, LA POINTE COURTE, Agnès Varda joined festival co-programmer Rachel Rakes for a Q&A. Besides sharing fascinating anecdotes from the making of the film, Varda also told stories of her interactions with other icons of French cinema like Alain Resnais, Francois Truffaut, and André Bazin.
