This film cycle, part of the larger Agnès Varda retrospective, explores the echoes of the French New Wave through works by directors who inspired the movement—Renoir, Bresson, Rossellini, Nicholas Ray, and Tati—as well as its key figures: Godard, Rohmer, Rivette, Chabrol, Rozier, and Truffaut. Also featured are contemporaries like Jacques Demy, Jean-Pierre Melville, and Louis Malle, who worked on the movement's fringes.
Screenings take place at Cinema Nimas in Lisbon, offering cinephiles a curated journey through the cinematic revolution that reshaped film language. The programme includes classics such as Jean-Luc Godard's "Une femme est une femme" and highlights the interconnectedness of these filmmakers, with Demy—Varda's partner—receiving special attention through films she later made about him.
Attendees can expect a deep dive into the Nouvelle Vague's legacy, with each screening providing context on how these directors influenced one another. It's an unmissable opportunity for anyone passionate about film history and the enduring impact of this artistic movement.
