Synopsis
From Agnes Varda, director of "The Beaches of Agnes" and "The Gleaners and I," comes the wonderful "Cinevardaphoto," a triptych of short films exploring the power and vitality of the photograph. In "Ydessa, The Bears and Etc.", Varda discovers a haunting exhibit of found photos, each incorporating 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.
