AGNÈS VARDA on POETRY

How do mental images become film scenes? And where do film and poetry meet? Agnès Varda talked with us about the relationship of these two art forms and about the major influence of the surrealists on her work.

Wie entstehen aus Gedankenbildern Filmszenen? Und wo liegt die Schnittstelle von Filmkunst und Poesie? Agnès Varda hat mit uns über die Verwandtschaft von zwei Künsten und den großen Einfluss der Surrealisten auf ihr Werk gesprochen.
