L’Ile et Elle fills two floors of Jean Nouvel’s spectacular Fondation Cartier with a kaleidoscope of colour and sound inspired by the windswept island of Noirmoutier off the west coast of France. As always with Varda, the exhibition makes overlapping references to her own career, family and friends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This riveting documentary, \u201cBlack Panthers – Huey!\u201d, directed by French filmmaker Agn\u00e8s Varda transports you to the pivotal Free Huey rally held on February 17th, 1968 (Newton\u2019s birthday), at Oakland Auditorium in Alameda, California. Newton, the charismatic young college student who, along with Bobby Seale, created the Black Panther Party, had been jailed for allegedly killing a police officer. His arrest\u2013widely believed at the time to be a setup\u2013galvanized Party support throughout the nation and led to a boom in Party membership, bringing a new level of public attention to the Panthers\u2019 cause.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Varda’s documentary work echoing, at various moments, the digressive cine-essays of Marker, the critical examinations of Godard, and the autobiographical experimentation of Akerman. But beyond these comparisons, it reveals a consistent yet absolutely unique voice spanning a 40-year period of photography and nonfiction filmmaking.<\/p>\n
